Brownfield site, New Build
71 Grey Street , Suite 1A , Newcastle Upon Tyne , Tyne and Wear , NE1 6EF
The scheme was developed on a brownfield site close to local amenities and the layout forms an enclosed private courtyard and provides 3no 2-bed houses, 8no 3-bed houses and 13no 2-bed apartments for general needs. The site had steep slopes to south and west which was challenging; the solution was to locate apartments along the south and west boundaries leaving the level areas for houses and gardens. The massing of the 2 and 3-storey apartments is broken by light spacious stairwells, an interesting roofscape and areas of brick detailing.
