An infill development of 6 new homes on a former garage site in South Norwood, Croydon
Set back from the street down a pan-handle access the building seeks to be both distinctive and sympathetic to its context. Located adjacent to a collection of existing estate buildings the modest 3 storey development presents its primary aspect to the south west to avoid overlooking the amenity spaces and windows of existing apartments. The primary frontage and main entrance opens out to a pedestrian street that offers a sense of arrival, with a playful arrangement of windows and balconies set in a crisply detailed brick building.
As a piece of residential infill the building makes the most of a highly constrained site that was previously rundown and unused.
