Acton Court, Whitehaven
Acton Court is a
new-build two/three-storey residential development currently nearing
completion adjacent to the historic Whitehaven Castle. The 12-dwelling
project comprises two 3-bedroom houses, four 2-bedroom houses and six
2-bed apartments. The building is situated in an important Conservation
Area setting and will form a prominent feature on the southern approach
to Whitehaven. The plan arrangement of the building creates landscaped
courts between the residential blocks. The external appearance of the
development is sympathetic towards the Georgian character of the town,
and was detailed in close liaison with the Local Planning Authority and
English Heritage.
