A challenging site from one of our private developer clients. This development is for housing on a small undeveloped pocket of land on an overlooked sloping site.
We relished the opportunity to find a solution which worked with the constraints of a small building footprint within close proximity to boundaries and other dwellings.
Design cues were taken from the Victorian proportions and rhythm of the window openings of the adjacent terraces. Attention to the detailing of the traditional red brick ties these new terraces to its surroundings whilst giving them a contemporary edge.
Thoughtful use of storage, slat walls and flexible partitions enabled us to maximise the accommodation to create bright and open spaces appealing to young professionals and families looking for their first home.
