A development of 15 social housing flats across two blocks on a corner site sandwiched between an existing residential area and an industrial estate. An acoustic bund along one side of the site has had to be reduced in length and mitigation measures incorporated into the new buildings. The form of both blocks has been fragmented by pulling them apart and creating communal circulation areas that read as external space.
The flats themselves are laid out around an open plan kitchen family space with all accommodation satisfying the criteria of the Nationally Described Space Standards.
