SOUP was approached to design an accessible replacement dwelling on the Northern Ramparts of Fort Corblets, Alderney. The existing dwelling is a combination of timber and stone structures that is beginning to show the toll of the harsh Atlantic weather. SOUP was asked to look at replacing and consolidating the fragmented dilapidated structures with a new dwelling.
The client wanted to develop a high-quality scheme that was sympathetic to its historic settings. The scheme offers modern living spaces within a building that provides shelter and protection from the rugged environment, taking massing and materiality references from the fort it sits within.
SOUP successfully gained planning permission in spring 2019 and works are due to be complete in Q3 2022.
