Melody Lane took what was previously an infill site containing a builder's merchants and turned it into a desirable and friendly residential street. Working closely with Noble House Properties, a local residential developer with whom we have developed a close, long-standing relationship, the site was transformed to provide seven new-build homes, two flats from an existing building, and one commercial unit.

The team carefully considered the materiality of the buildings, selecting a buff brick and zinc cladding that lends a clean, contemporary design to the terrace with muted tones. Internally, the residential units provide flexible layouts, with the option of having living spaces on either the first or second floor.

Large floor to ceiling heights and dual aspect ensures the interior is filled with light and feels generous. There are a variety of external spaces, with rear gardens, first floor terraces and roof gardens.

The varied gardens and terraces at different levels of the homes offer opportunities for activation and greening. The converted coach house and new office building bookend the houses, acting as markers at each end of the street.
