Project Orange has completed a new scheme of five houses on a one-acre site in Suffolk, on the outskirts of Ashbocking.

The site, previously occupied by decaying semi-industrial buildings, is surrounded by farmland and lies within the grounds of an existing large house and gardens. The project retained and interplanted mature trees and hedges along the boundaries, providing a natural screen and acting as a wildlife corridor.

The development consists of five two-storey dwellings, each with private parking and amenity space. Access is via an existing lane, which also serves the neighbouring property. The layout of the new dwellings has been designed to resemble a series of connected agricultural buildings surrounding a central courtyard. This arrangement reflects the rural character of the surrounding landscape and complements the adjacent “Red House” and its gardens.
