Described by a local councilor as ‘the ark’ waiting to be buoyed by rising waters, ‘Sea View’ villa visually floats above the landscape, with panoramic views afforded to its new owners, over the Blackwater Estuary.‘The Ark’ is now taking shape. Foundations are in and preliminary prefabrication steel drawings are underway. We can’t wait to see the huge cantilever soon!
We were approached to design a luxury executive home, built to the highest environmental standards, and located deep within a mature woodland setting in Nottinghamshire. Like local folklore of Robin Hood’s settlements, the dwelling will float above the riverbanks and nestle into the treetops.
The buildings plan is divided into clusters of activity – formal, living, entertaining. The building form is a timber treehouse inspired structure.

Marking 75 years since the Allies accepted the unconditional surrender of all opposition forces, this VE-Day we remember those brave soldiers of the Second World War whom paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Though we cannot participate in parades and remember this day in the conventional ways of years before, we do our best to remember this historic day from our homes. ‘They shall not grow old, as we that are left to grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun in the morning, we will remember them.’

Today BACA remembers the late Major Malcolm Cavan OBE, an inspiring man whom shared some great stories with us during his time working as project leader on the Operation Frankton Memorial. He will be remembered in spirit by those he inspired and also by those who are yet to be inspired by his story and that of the heroic ‘cockshell heroes’.
