Having achieved planning approval, the scheme balances modern architectural language with a deep respect for the character and context of the National Park, ensuring both aesthetic harmony and environmental responsibility.

A key challenge was working within the Exmoor Dark Skies zone to ensure a balance between the aspiration for large expanses of glass—to maximise the views down the valley to the sea—and the need to minimise light pollution. We achieved this by balancing both design and technical solutions, which were agreed as part of the planning approval process.
