pLUMPTON HUB
Year
2024/25
Commercial and community development, Plumpton, East Sussex.
Leon designed the site layout, ensuring that access and movement of large vehicles can be accommodated.
The proposed layout takes advantage of the site's natural slope. Informing the placement of different units, creating and obstructing views, while keeping in mind the future drainage and levels strategy.
Leon also co-designed the commercial units, being tasked with designing the elevations to create an overall sleek contemporary aesthetic.
The design has received positive feedback after an outline submission and has support from residents.
Kings Court
Residential conversion and extension, Chailey, East Sussex.
Leon had input in the design's internal layout, ensuring living space was optimised within an irregular footprint. His suggestion of a green wall addresses the street scene and was seen as a positive addition by planners.

Esker Eco-pods
Year
2024/25
Eco-tourism lodges, Plumpton, East Sussex.
The eco-lodges are phase 2 of the wider ‘Plumpton Hub’ project, where visitors will have access to the wellness centre, restaurant and winery.
The Eco-pods were designed to reflect the contemporary styling of the commercial development, and created the architectural drawings, Design and Access Statement and CGIs for planning.
The appearance of the Eco-pods is intended to create a development that sits within the landscape.
Hardwick HOuse
Residential conversion and extension in Eastbourne, East Sussex.
Leon shaped the rear extension to feature a central ‘projecting core’, minimising the mass of the proposal.
The rear façade was carefully designed to ensure the openings and architectural detail reflected the existing Georgian building.

2no. 2-bedroom mews, in Eastbourne, East Sussex.

Leon was tasked to work up the design in CAD and ensure that Part M and technical housing standards compliance were observed.
By carrying over similar architectural details of Hardwick House, a continuous design language was created between the two projects.
