GAA Design faced a complex and challenging task when they were enlisted by a developer to work on a site located at the heart of Eton Wick. The site, which initially consisted of a vast grassed area situated to the south of an existing public house, held significant potential for development, but it also presented a series of unique hurdles that demanded creative and strategic problem-solving.

From the outset, GAA Design embarked on an ambitious journey to craft a design that would seamlessly blend into this highly sensitive location. Their initial step involved close collaboration with the Local Authority, engaging in a series of discussions and pre-application submissions. This proactive approach aimed to foster a cooperative relationship with the local governing body and ensure that the proposed scheme would not only comply with regulations but also respect the area's character and heritage.

A critical aspect of the project was the preservation of the existing public house, a landmark with historical significance. Inclusivity was a guiding principle for GAA Design, leading them to conduct consultations with the local residents. This dialogue revealed the community's desire for a coffee shop/bicycle cafe, aligning the development with the evolving needs and preferences of the area's inhabitants.

Ultimately, GAA Design's diligent and collaborative efforts paid off, as the scheme received planning permission from the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead's council panel. This achievement was not only a testament to their innovative design skills but also their adeptness in navigating the complexities of environmental regulations and ensuring the safety of future occupants.
