littleBIG house Pound Lane
Laindon, Essex 2018-22
New custom build houses set in 1.2ha of woodland.
We are working collaboratively with Mae Architects, Pitman Tozer and Unboxed Homes to create a small collection of 12 bespoke family homes. Our littleBIG house is one of three architect-designed custom build homes set around retained woodland to make a unique community.
Homeowners choose their plot, the house size (3 - 5 beds) and level of finish (shell, first fix or finished) before completing the design with us out to suit their particular needs. Each house has a large private garden and an optional garage, as well as access to a shared communal garden space and adjacent natural woodland.
In April 2019 we obtained full planning permission for the masterplan and 12 dwellings. The development of the site is now underway.
“Custom build is just getting started as an innovative route to new homes – but it has massive potential to disrupt the status quo. This is a modest scheme but an exemplar for the way innovative housing can be built, funded and delivered.”
