Villa Verde

The Villa Verde is a vision of a lost house and landscape - 400 country houses have been demolished in Lancashire, with thousands more across the country.

The Villa Verde seeks to reclaim this lost history by creating an essay in architecture and landscape to inform the 21st century.

“Beauty is a result of beautiful shapes and the correspondence of the whole and parts, parts to each other and the parts with the whole. Architecture must combine utility, convenience, and beauty.”

Andrea Palladio (1508-1580)

In 2015 Shaw & Jagger Architects achieved the first large country house approval in the Green Belt - See ‘p.84 House - Lancashire’.
