Located on the Gower, an area of outstanding natural beauty, the £1.7m development at Scurlage is a community of 14, 2 and 3 bedroom semi-detached houses, designed for Family Housing Association and procured through Design and Build. To promote a sense of inclusion and belonging, the properties have been designed around a new public open space, a feature which also helps to bed the scheme into the existing village fabric.
Tradition played a crucial role in the selection of materials with a mix of blue pennant stone and rough cast render used to reflect the rural vernacular. Due to its location on the Gower, landscaping and ecology were also significant factors in the scheme, designed to help promote local biodiversity.
Energy performance was a key consideration in the design of the dwellings, with a highly efficient thermal envelope and inclusion of PV solar collectors to generate electricity on site.
