Llanelly House, Carmarthenshire
Austin-Smith:Lord was commissioned by Carmarthenshire Heritage Regeneration Trust to carry out the conservation and restoration of Llanelly House in Llanelli. The aims of the project were to restore the Grade I Listed Georgian Town House to its 18th Century glory and turn it into a major visitor attraction. The listing of the building at Grade I reflects its importance in Britain on a national scale.
The restoration of Llanelly House was undertaken around a high quality programme of conservation and restoration that has drawn from and enriched the communities of Llanelli.
Project funders included the HLF, ERDF, Cadw, Llanelli Town Centre, Carmarthenshire County Council and GrantScape.
We are delighted with the high quality of conservation that has been achieved at Llanelly House and the central role that ASL’s team played in achieving this.

NISSI BEACH VILLAS, CYPRUSHomeLLANELLY HOUSE, CARMARTHENSHIRENissi Beach Villas Cyprus Austin-Smith:Lord designed a number of high specification villas for Fastro Developments and SolTerra on the last beach-fronted site in Ayia Napa. Located to the East end of Nissi Beach the site has stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. As the brief called for exclusive properties, privacy was central to the development of the designs. The decision was made at the start of the project to organise each plot around a pool and sheltered gardens, with an essentially L-shaped floor plan, the orientation of which was established through solar studies to achieve maximum daylight for the private external spaces as well as the main outlook from the principal reception and bedrooms. The villa forms a protective barrier for the private external space, with its external façade evolving into a thick curved concrete wall, reflecting traditional local structures and forming a distinctive street presence.

MILKWOOD ROAD LONDONHomeLLANELLY HOUSE, CARMARTHENSHIREMilkwood Road London Austin-Smith:Lord worked with Pocket Living to design contemporary, stylish, intermediate-affordable homes for Londoners to buy on a number of different sites. For this long, narrow brownfield site that backs directly onto Network Rail land in Lambeth, South London, Austin-Smith:Lord proposed 48 units in a mix of modular one-bedroom Pocket units, socially rented and private-sale housing types, broken into three distinct building volumes. Each block establishes its own geometry and landscaped spaces in response to the changing conditions along the triangular strip of land, but the three share a common material treatment of dark, semi-glazed brick and full-height bronze anodised windows. Together, the group will connect the derelict site with the local community, possibly for the first time in its history.
