ASCEND, designed by Design Network Architects, embodies not only physical restoration but also the emotional reconciliation between past and present. This concept, described as "Ascend," views the 50-year-old house at Bampfylde Road as a continuous vessel that carries its past into a renewed future. The essence of architecture lies not in what is built anew, but in what is remembered and reimagined. By retaining the old structure, we preserve not only a building but also the stories that give it its soul and allow living memory that continues to evolve, breathe, and belong.

Design Network Architects transformed the trapezoid-shaped site into an opportunity by offsetting the building line on both sides of the boundary, creating two distinct projections. By softening the sharp edges with a full-height curving glazing, it becomes the focal point of the house, designed to accommodate a feature tree.
