The Gables
Bowdon
Nestled next to the esteemed Devisdale Conservation Area, this project reinterprets the rich architectural heritage of its surroundings while embracing innovation in both construction and landscape design.
Drawing inspiration from the Victorian Italianate style, the design incorporates elegant proportions and refined detailing, ensuring a seamless integration with the surrounding streetscape. A single central gable and a low-pitched hipped roof with projecting eaves define the façade, creating a distinct yet respectful presence. The asymmetrical elevation echoes the rhythm of neighboring homes, reinforcing a sense of continuity within the conservation area.

Inside, the architectural language extends to a carefully curated hierarchy of space. The ground floor features generous ceiling heights, reflecting its open-plan nature, while the upper levels gradually reduce in scale, culminating in intimate, lofted spaces within the roofline. Expanses of glazing adhere to a traditional scale, balancing natural light with architectural coherence.
This home is a testament to the seamless fusion of heritage sensitivity and contemporary craftsmanship, enhancing both its immediate setting and the broader conservation area.
