Below are some brief case studies showing several example projects from this area.

Developed from a planning permission obtained by others, this town centre scheme in a strictly controlled Conservation Area had to be carefully detailed. The mixture of 10 houses and flats follows the urban grain of mixed brick, colour washed walls and traditionally scaled windows and detailing.

Conversion and extension of a stone outbuilding to a 2-bedroom dwelling in the grounds of a large Grade 2 Listed Building in the Conservation Area of Eynsham. By lowering the ground floor slightly it was possible to add a first floor and to retain the existing roof structure with only minor modifications.

As part of their commission from Oxfordshire Ambulance NHS Trust, SWA architects prepared feasibility studies for various surplus sites with a view to obtaining outline planning permissions prior to disposal of the sites. Illustrated is a proposal for the development of the Banbury Ambulance Station in conjunction with the adjacent Fire Station.
