Bridge Inn
Location | Chepstow, Monmouthshire
This development of two semi-detached dwellings sits in the carpark of the former Bridge Inn public house, Chepstow. The views from the upper floors look directly out onto park land and the River Wye and again onto the Gloucestershire countryside. The units form a contemporary addition to very public area of Chepstow. The design language takes notes from the local vernacular, calling on the historic warehouses that once lined the riverfront.

Due to its close proximity to the River Wye, the main habitable spaces of the dwellings are raised of the ground to minimise that impact of major flood events in the future.
The layout makes strong use of the stairway as tool for channelling light. A large skylight at the roof allows natural light to penetrate the centre of the building via the stairwell and first floor void.
