Description
Strong robust architecture and materials are used with lighter details like hanging tiles and brick recesses to create rhythm and depth. Winter gardens, designed with frameless glass, offer protection from the busy street and opportunities for greening. Stepped curved brick reveals also references the church and marks the entrance.

Respecting the existing urban grain and human scale, the façade is broken down to create three tiers, with the top tier being clad with fluted concrete tiles adding depth and texture high up. The brick façade has a warm hue, and keeping in rhythm of the street, is paired with arched doorways and bespoke shaped balustrades reminiscent of the neighbouring church.
Conscious of the busy road along Harrow Road, the team has incorporated planting at the front of the ground floor units to soften the boundary.
The scheme offers a variety of useable external spaces including a communal garden and rear balconies which are angled to ensure privacy. The mixed brickwork compliments the use of larger and smaller windows which echo the traditional Victorian context.
