Studio LK was appointed by The Singleton Trust, landowners of the Singleton estate, to develop a vision and masterplan proposal for the extension and enhancement of Singleton village, a Conservation Area, and enhancements to the village’s wider context.
These were developed through an Enquiry by Design process, between 2013 and 2014, where Studio LK engaged with key and wider stakeholders, including local politicians and planning officers, and local residents, using their input in the final masterplan and architectural designs.
Key objectives included extending Singleton with 15 new dwellings and open spaces that continued and evolved the traditional village form, adding a village green, transforming dangerous roads into pedestrian focussed streets, regenerating disused buildings into work/incubator units for local businesses and proposing architecture that reflects the local character whilst being based upon current space and sustainability standards.
