Architecture in Detail: A Striking Modern Self-Build Home in Gosforth’s Great Park

Design in detail

Set within Gosforth’s Great Park, this striking new build home is a showcase of contemporary family living and architectural precision. Designed and delivered by Acre Design, this luxury modern home in Newcastle upon Tyne spans three generous floors, combining elegant open-plan spaces with meticulous technical detailing throughout. 

From the moment you step inside, the sense of scale and light is extraordinary. The entrance hall is framed by a sculptural feature staircase, setting the tone for the rest of the home. Flowing through to a spacious kitchen, dining and living area, the design balances family functionality with a sense of refinement. Every space has been thoughtfully proportioned, from the utility and boot rooms to the private lounge areas and beautifully appointed en suites that give each bedroom its own sense of luxury. 

Externally, a crisp white rendered façade is punctuated by striking feature glazing that floods the interiors with natural light. Every detail reflects Acre’s blend of creativity and technical excellence, ensuring this new build not only looks stunning but performs beautifully too. 

Working with a client who was also the contractor meant that every conversation went straight to the heart of what we love most: the detail. From zoning and layout to precise construction methodology, Acre Design’s team of experienced architectural technologists and designers brought their technical expertise to every decision. The home’s timber frame structure allowed for rapid, high-quality construction, sailing smoothly through both planning and Building Control. Within months, the property stood complete, a truly magnificent family home. 

This project captures everything Acre Design stands for: beautiful architecture grounded in buildability, delivered with care, precision and collaboration.
