The Design Process
The newly designed homes feature brick, which is the predominant material used within the estate and on Hewlett Road, and acts as an interface between the two. Two contrasting colours animate the form and breakup the massing. High quality materials have been used throughout, including composite powder coated aluminium, timber windows and the balconies and terrace balustrades are made from aluminium with opaque glazing. The scheme is sympathetic to its context, but through careful consideration unifies the architecture present, whilst creating a new ‘place’ on its on merit.
