Because of restrictions on having windows
on the north party-wall boundary, small
lightwells were formed with windows
opening onto them, providing natural light
and cross-ventilation.
Internally the halls, stairs and living rooms
have oak flooring with under-floor heating.
The composite triple-glazed windows
are pine internally and powder-coated
aluminium externally.
The scheme is rated Level 4 under the
Code for Sustainable Homes with solar
roof panels, heat recovery ventilation
systems and rainwater harvesting.
All lighting is LED. The bricks from the
warehouse were reused for the external
cladding.
