FMA are excited to have been shortlisted for the Novers Hill design competition for Goram Homes!
The development area is a brownfield site in South Bristol adjacent to the Western Slopes: a site of ecological importance and a much-loved green space within the local community.
The brief was to design an ecologically innovative and community led residential scheme, with sensitivity to the border it shares with a wildlife-rich landscape.
Here’s what the design team had to say on being shortlisted…
“As a local practice, Ferguson Mann Architects are delighted to have been shortlisted for what promises to be a transformative project for south Bristol. The team was led by our own passive house designer and is a positive response to the biodiversity and climate challenges facing the city. These are issues that we are passionate about and are integral to our design response: retaining the existing trees and landscape, enhancing the current biodiversity with ponds and roosts, promoting community food growing, minimising the development’s carbon footprint, and delivering much needed low energy homes.”
