Church Lane

Project Overview

Church Lane comprised a scheme of five dwelling houses on the site of the former Church Lane House, Church Lane, Whitburn. The gated site has a private drive, parking, individual gardens and landscaped communal gardens overlooking the cricket ground. The original vandalised tithe barn wall to the northern boundary is one of the oldest walls in Whitburn village and was restored as part of the external works. We were commissioned to carry out the civil & structural design works for the whole project including; external works / drainage design and structural assessment of the historic boundary walls.

The houses are open plan on the ground floor, illuminated on the north side by a three storey, roof lit void and a large glass wall looking southwards onto the garden. Each house includes south facing balconies and living space on the second floor giving views out to sea. The traditional material palette compliments the surroundings and contrasts the contemporary built form.
