Nestled amongst Victorian terrace houses on all sides, the site used to a pipe bending factory but was left in disuse for over 10 years prior to our proposed intervention. Previous consented proposals include children's play centre and container-style hostel accommodation but none of the proposed development took off.
Our approach sought to upgrade the programmatic function and aesthetic quality of the derelict brownfield site whilst exploring its potential for residential use which will be more in line with its surrounding area. The aim is to provide high quality residential accommodation in a very tight and awkwardly shaped site that is highly overlooked by the surrounding established houses.
The house(s) was designed to be dual aspect with north and south facing openings to optimise solar gain control. The overall arrangement is stepped to accentuate the rhythm of the house whilst maximising surfaces for solar gain in winter months. Window openings are angled on the upper floors to minimise direct overlooking onto the surrounding rear gardens, and openings to the ground floor living spaces are oversized and fully openable to extend the connect the dual aspect living spaces to the front and rear private gardens.
A generous communal garden is provided instead of the large private gardens encouraged by local planning policies. The aim here is to create a stronger community where families and young children are encouraged to interact and socialise.
