The South West Quadrant provides around two hundred residential units within Poundbury, the Duchy of Cornwall’s experimental town to the west of Dorchester. The design includes a number of different building types including offices, apartments and terraced and detached houses, all inspired by the architecture of the Regency period. The Duchy has appointed a group of architects including George Saumarez Smith of ADAM Architecture, and by working together, this team provides a coherent strategy for the new streets and a greater level of harmony between the buildings. Simple detailing has produced elegant buildings constructed and finished to a high quality.
