The Spotted Dog project, a 17th Century building lacking 21st Century commercial viability, represents a triangulation between: Heritage vs Housing vs Car Parking. Something old and important, somewhere to live, somewhere to park the motor. Accepting Heritage as the over-riding principle (we will hopefully, one day, all experience being old) the question then moves between living and driving!? We give priority to shelter over mobility. So a total building that combines: house and flat, terrace and garden, car park and bike shed, open space and high density, new and old…. and the movement in between.
