The building responds carefully to its context, continuing the domestic-scale form that keeps in harmony with the established street pattern, while respecting the neighbouring locally listed public house. Active frontages, front gardens and a defined corner entrance provide natural surveillance and strengthen the public realm.

All homes are dual aspect and benefit from maximised daylight and natural ventilation. High levels of insulation and airtightness, developed in accordance with Passivhaus principles, are combined with a simple and continuous thermal envelope.

Acoustic performance was a key consideration given the neighbouring public house. Window sizes and external brise soleil were developed alongside energy and acoustic consultants to balance daylight, overheating, noise and energy efficiency.

From the outset, buildability and affordability were central to the project. A straightforward structural strategy, regular spans and stacked load-bearing construction support efficient traditional construction methods while helping to reduce construction risk and minimise embodied carbon.

The project has received planning permission and will be moving into construction in 2027.
