Harewell Hall
Wherwell, UK
Harewell Hall is a new house built in an historic picturesque, thatched village in Hampshire, north of Winchester. Its site lies in a crucial part of the village, next to the church surrounded by buildings many of which were built in the early sixteenth century. Being in parkland, within a conservation area and in the curtilage of a listed building made it even more particularly sensitive in planning terms.
The project was begun by facing the problem square on, by consulting the neighbours and asking them what they thought was necessary to gain their support for a new building in their midst? The answer came back, thatch!
With the support of the village John Simpson Architects designed the building, successfully guided it through the planning process and through construction.
