15 new homes on a backland site
Developed over two phases the scheme has allowed existing residents to move into their new terraced houses before their Rima concrete panel system build dwellings were demolished. In keeping with the scale of the existing suburban context the scheme also delivers apartments using a bespoke typology of ‘flats with front doors on the street’. The ten apartments – a mix of shared ownership and private sale – all have direct access from the street, creating a human scale streetscape. The new homes back onto existing rear gardens of the surrounding properties and are designed to maximise good aspect without overlooking neighbouring homes. This small scheme is a bespoke response to a challenging site, breathing life into a forgotten corner of Northolt.
