Pixham Lane, Dorking, is situated on the doorstep to both a transport hub and an area of outstanding natural beauty. The scheme combines the two, creating a later living village that celebrates strong urban forms to better reflect the town, alongside more tactile materials to reflect the nature these buildings sit within.

Anne-Marie, Chris and Laura were part of the team for this project whilst at Life3a.
