Located in the charming coastal town of Southwold, planning permission has been granted for the construction of a striking dwelling on Ferry Road.


Nestled along the serene River Blyth, Southwold has long been revered for its picturesque landscapes, traditional charm, and thriving community. The proposed dwelling fully embraces this idyllic setting with its thoughtful design and seamless integration with the natural beauty of the coastal environment.


Architectural Language

The proposed design is a fusion of contemporary design and respect for Southwold's architectural heritage of fishing cottages. As a highly sought-after location, the project has been meticulously planned to embrace the contextual character while offering a modern and comfortable living space on a heavily constrained site.

The design contributes to the architecturally rich context of Ferry Road and it's unique setting nestled between dunes and marshland.


A Harmonious Blend of Indoor and Outdoor Living

With its prime location overlooking the sand dunes, the dwelling will make the most of its natural surroundings. Large windows and open-plan living spaces will draw in abundant natural light, creating an inviting atmosphere that blurs the lines between indoors and outdoors.

The design also incorporates spacious outdoor areas, including a private garden and terrace, providing residents with the perfect setting to enjoy Southwold's captivating sunrises and sunsets.


Environmental Considerations

In line with our commitment to environmental sustainability, the architectural plans include eco-friendly features. The dwelling will be equipped with energy-efficient systems and incorporate sustainable materials, reflecting ABA's dedication to responsible construction practices.


Celebrating Southwold's Rich Heritage

Southwold's architectural heritage will be celebrated throughout the project, as the design pays homage to the town's historical roots. The use of locally sourced materials and subtle nods to traditional coastal architecture will seamlessly blend the new dwelling into the fabric of Southwold's architectural tapestry.


An Asset to Southwold's Community

The building on Ferry Road will not only be a stunning addition to Southwold's landscape but will also enrich the community. As a single, thoughtfully designed residence, the development will complement the existing neighborhood and enhance the overall appeal of the area.


Anticipated Timeline

With planning permission now secured and technical design progressed between ABA and Potton, we expect to commence construction on the dwelling in the coming months.
