A new-build housing scheme containing 116 private residences and 28 affordable homes. The architect created a clear sense of place with the massing of the structure and enhanced the street by providing amenities for the local population at street level. The scheme features landscaped, communal courtyards, and is carefully orientated to maximise sun penetration, achieving a situation where no living spaces have a purely northerly outlook. All apartments have a large balcony or terrace. The choice of materials creates dialogue with the history of the area, consisting of brick and adjustable metal panels, with cedar boarding adding warmth.
