Project Summary

99 Olney is a contemporary home set within the garden of an existing property. Partially earth-sheltered and “upside-down”, it enters at road level before stepping down to the main living and sleeping spaces. A south-facing façade opens to balconies and terraces to maximise river-valley views, with a fabric-first, highly sustainable specification delivered by Pauley Ltd.

Role: Main Contractor - Pauley Ltd

Client: Private

Architect/Consultants: Coles Architects (client-appointed); daily coordination by Pauley Ltd

Added value: Optimised retaining/earthworks strategy, buildability and sequencing on a steep site; proactive cost control and programme management; quality assured through close supplier and inspection coordination.
