PRINKNASH ABBEY

Prinknash Abbey is being thoughtfully transformed into a collection of refined, modern residences. This unique development respects the site’s historical essence while offering high-quality, design-led living. The project blends architectural sensitivity with long-term vision to create a place of comfort, distinction, and belonging.

We envision a connected community shaped by architecture, nature, and timeless design. This is more than housing — it’s about delivering enduring value, environmental integrity, and a sense of place where people feel proud to live. Every decision is guided by quality, sustainability, and thoughtful transformation.

Led by O’LearyGoss Architects, the design honours the Abbey’s proportions while adapting it for modern residential use. Unsympathetic elements are removed, and new additions are seamlessly integrated. The result is an architecture that feels grounded in history, yet completely suited to how people live today.

The landscape strategy enhances biodiversity, preserves mature trees, and ensures privacy without isolation. Green buffers, natural transitions, and carefully framed views shape a living environment that is beautiful, sustainable, and deeply connected to the surrounding context.

The masterplan respects topography and visual flow, placing new and retained buildings in dialogue. Circulation, open space, and density are carefully balanced to create a cohesive and well-scaled residential setting. It’s a plan designed for livability, clarity, and future adaptability.

Set within an established estate and green landscape, Prinknash Abbey enjoys a commanding yet serene presence. The site offers far-reaching views, access to nature, and a strong connection to heritage — all while being situated within a secure and well-connected location.

The development strategy focuses on retaining key built forms, improving spatial quality, and introducing design features that enhance everyday living. From roof terraces to internal reconfigurations, each intervention respects the building’s structure while delivering comfort and usability.

The Abbey offers a rare opportunity to deliver a distinctive residential environment. With scalable layouts and rich site character, it supports a range of housing options — from premium apartments to carefully integrated homes — each part of a broader vision for lasting community value.
