This is the blog of Darren Ward the director of Red Raven Design Ltd. A design practice based in north Cumbria, England offering everything from architectural services to web design. This blog is intended as an informal place where the current works and thoughts of the practice are placed within the public domain to stimulate debate and increase awareness of the need for good design.
On Golden Pond is this Easter's stage production by Theatre by the Lake, Keswick. I was commissioned to produce a new microsite to sit alongside the main web site (also one of mine) to promote the show. It's a clean simple site, as all mine are!

I have chosen for my first post a scheme that gained planning permission a couple of years ago. It has not yet been built.
The scheme is for 2 separate houses and an associated garage block and is designed around a U-shaped courtyard. The scheme addresses the client's desire for a contemporary home and the demands of the planning authority for a vernacular use of materials and the massing to reflect local farm buildings.
I was more than pleased with the overall outcome of the scheme and somewhat shocked that such a controversial proposal gained planning permission with no compromise on design - something that is very rare in this area of the world. My message to others that are practising in the area - good design can prevail.
