In practice; Our Commitment to quality and Paragraph 84e
Our New Isle of Wight Project: A Landscape-Led Approach
At PAD studio, we are excited to share our latest project on the Isle of Wight. This new house is a testament to our commitment to quality and to landscape-led design. Drawing inspiration from historic mapping and the natural beauty of the area. We are reinstating native hedgerows, field boundaries, and drainage ditches that have been lost over time due to modern farming methods. Additionally, we are reintroducing meadow grassland and using cattle to graze other areas, allowing biodiversity to flourish.
Innovation and Quality: Previous iterations of Paragraph 84e emphasised innovation, which we are pleased to see has now shifted to a focus on quality. Demonstrating innovation is challenging because it doesn’t exist until we create it. However, the highest quality of architecture always pushes boundaries and demonstrates best practices regarding sustainability, low embodied carbon, ecology, landscape, structural design, and beauty. While some may think that Paragraph 84e buildings are quirky and different, we believe that true architectural quality goes beyond mere novelty. We create homes that are visually stunning, environmentally responsible, and contextually appropriate, enhancing the landscape through both biodiversity enhancement (which we will explore later in this series) and a deep understanding of the landscape itself.
