Residential Development

A small infill development involving the change of use of a builder’s yard into two detached 2-bedroom dwellings on the outskirts of a Conservation Area.  The project had many challenges including 10 properties that backed onto the site so the design had to please a lot of people.  It was completely enclosed by 2.5M - 3M tall boundary walls with multiple single storey outbuildings that ranged from corrugated metal mono-pitch structures to flat roofed concrete decks.  The only building of significance was a 20C single storey brick gable building with a tiled roof located to the south west of the site which was incorporated into the design.
