These 5 new houses are designed to stand on stilts to address constraints associated with the flood zone and tree roots at the site.
The site is currently derelict and was formerly used as 33 garages. This project had to overcome constraints, which included:- Flood Zone 3; Tree Protection; and Environment Agency 8m buffer zone. The result is the orientation of the new houses, responds to these constraints and that an arc form was established which is efficient in a fabric first approach.
