Text
A London housing project of two buildings that share a material and formal language. The pair are distinguished by their varied tones of precast brick and concrete which reflect the colours of existing buildings around the site. The project provides 18 homes with a mix of flat types and sizes that all have dual aspect views. Scalloped corners provide generous balconies carved into the volumes and create gables that integrate large matures trees. The prefabricated façades employ a language of expressed slabs and pillars to create a pair of buildings that bring coherence and evoke a sense of solidity and permanence. At ground floor level a concrete plinth unites the various building frontages to provide natural flood resilience and privacy to the ground floor accommodation.
