About the project
“A masterclass of working the humble brick - with such finesse and artistry! Sculptural, whimsical, bold and well-articulated architecture - the homes sit very well on-site with clever and sensitive referencing to the verticality of the nearby church tower”
Low cost, robust but high quality brick detailing is integral to the project. Traditionally built brick arches front a number of the homes and help create a semi-private space where people can put out pots and plants, wellies and umbrellas etc. Snapped headers create tightly curved external walls where the site requires thinner accommodation. Other brick details include projecting brick surrounds to pop-up windows, arched window heads, soldier and header courses, articulated parapets and beautiful angled window reveals on prominent corners.
