FRONT. Architecture

Park Street in Westcliff-on-Sea is a brownfield redevelopment site creating 7no 1 and 2-bedroom apartments arranged around a secured gated mews style courtyard setting, tucked away just minutes from the train station, high street, and beachfront. Each property has been carefully designed with private entrances leading to ground, first floor and duplex apartments, with the architectural style and materials palette reflecting a contemporary approach to the local vernacular. Achieving planning permission last year and with demolition works now complete we are eager to see construction works commencing soon! FRONT. have been appointed on Stages 0-5, developing the design through feasibility to construction.

We recently secured planning approval for this truly impressive replacement 5-bedroom home measuring in excess of 5,000 sq.ft plus new stables and cart lodge out-buildings in Essex. The new property is orientated towards the incredible expansive views over the landscape towards Hamford Water National Nature Reserve and Horsey Island. The design approach blends traditional architectural forms with contemporary design elements and the highest quality materials, creating interest and allowing for expansive views and beautifully naturally lit rooms. #newbuild #luxuryhome #countryliving #frontarchitectureltd
