New Build Commercial & Residential Property Cardiff
We were approached by the client to design a new build contemporary five storey combined commercial and residential property in a prominent location in Cardiff Bay. dlp secured Planning, Building Regulation approval and produced a comprehensive construction & tender design package. The development constructed using a timber frame comprises a commercial unit to the ground floor with eight 1 bedroom flats over.

dlp working in association with Bernard Clatworthy, a consultant architect produced a planning and construction design package to significantly upgrade the architectural and visual appearance of this country house and in so doing enhance its contribution to local character. The concept was to remodel the property to a fine country house with central two storey block with properly articulated and detailed quoins, door openings and fenestration flanked by subservient single storey wings with heavily glazed elevations to lessen their overall bulk and impact. A second part of the vision was the link to Fairways Hotel which is part of the owner’s business interest. The Orangery, market garden and glasshouse will ensure fresh local produce and flowers for the sea side front hotel.
