Project overview
eldridge london was commissioned to design a new family house on a site overlooking the RAC’s Woodcote Park golf course and with views to the Epsom racecourse and Canary Wharf beyond. The client’s brief included open plan living space and room for a piano at ground floor, bedrooms on the first floor with balconies to benefit from views across the surrounding countryside, indoor swimming pool, gym, home office space and guest room at lower ground floor level.
Their interest in contemporary architecture gave them confidence to commission a modern building in the context of this neo-Georgian neighbourhood.
The response from Epsom and Ewell Planners to the contemporary proposal was very favourable and considered to be a positive departure from the pastiche buildings prevalent in the area. The planners report noted that the new house was ‘a potential listed building of the future’. The house won RIBA awards and was shortlisted for the Manser Medal (RIBA House of the Year)
