Envisaged as a modern interpretation of the mass house building aesthetic, set amongst an eclectic street scene in the suburbs of SW London, WR house showcases what is possible on a limited budget and within tight legislative planning constraints. Meeting all national space standard requirements, WR house is constituted from one type of contemporary brickwork, formulated in a range of bonding and coursing techniques. The fenestration will be lined with a copper shroud to add subtlety to the detailing whilst also offering the property an element of originality that echoes the ornate detailing last seen around residential fenestration openings in the Victorian period. All aspects of the architectural brickwork detailing have been carefully considered. Externally a projecting brickwork relief helps to express one of the houses volumes, whilst the other is more calm and restrained, utilising a more traditional brick laying method to define the volume. Internally, exposed brickwork, matching that used externally creates design features, such as the fire place and associated chimney to give the open plan living area a contemporary focal point. "WR-AP have been a great partner for our design-led residential projects. From engaging them to help us with the planning process, their design thought-processes were always robust and stood up to scrutiny with Kingston Planning. Post planning in the construction phase, they have been very proactive, helping up to achieve our design vision."
