Paul Cashin Architects 'PCA' is a creative architectural practice based in Winchester, Hampshire. PCA takes a design-led approach to the practice of contemporary architecture, believing that well thought and considered design is essential to the creation of successful architectural space.

The practice undertakes contemporary architectural design projects across residential, commercial and civic sectors of the construction industry. Currently having a number of live projects across Winchester, Hampshire and the South Coast including one-off new build houses, extensions and commercial business projects.

As a small practice, our strength lies in our inclusive and personal approach, working directly with clients, consultants, and contractors, encouraging the cross over between architecture and other areas of art and design.

We are in a consistent state of process, working through a range of media including physical and computer models, hand and computer drawings, sketching and conceptual diagrams, discussions and presentations.

Fairlea House | Emsworth, Hampshire

Rear Extension to Private House

Status: Under Construction

Client: Private  

Type: Residential

The project includes building a new rear extension containing an additional living space with a feature hearth, as well as re-modelling the existing property internally. Additionally, a landscape scheme to the rear garden has been developed to complement the extension.

The concept looked to respond to the clients requirements in a simple and sensitive manner that is subservient to the existing property.

The proposed extension will sympathetically reflect the scale and proportions of the existing property while providing a precisely detailed contemporary addition. The new extension purposefully does not reflect the hipped roof of the existing property and embraces traditional gables to give a counter point which will help to visually maintain the scale of the existing property, whilst providing a dynamic vaulted internal space.

The new extension will be constructed of white painted brick and bituminous corrugated cladding. The pitched roof will also be finished with the same recycled bituminous corrugated cladding giving the feeling of wrapping.
