Knighton Mill



Located in the beautiful Cranborne Chase AONB, working with client Spratley & Partners this beautiful new build home was designed to sit sensitively in the landscape.


Evidence of the original mill dates back to Domesday and the unique site also includes a series of historic waterways.


The existing mill was not listed and had undergone extensive modifications over the years, making it difficult to salvage.


Keen to recognise the history of the site, the client wanted a design that referenced the original and balanced this with a contemporary glass wing. 


Overcoming significant logistical challenges, a temporary build of a coffer dam rediverted the river to ensure that the superstructure and groundworks around the River Ebble could be carried out - followed by the reorientation of the new building’s footprint, enhancing the arrival experience of the site.


We are proud to have worked on this incredible project.
