The brickwork is organised in a Raking Monk pattern
and provides a contemporary aesthetic, cascading easily
with the stepping profile. No cut bricks were used on
site which provided significant cost benefits, while stone
banding was made from the largest possible pieces and
cut to accentuate the diagonal topography of the site.
The overall effect of these devices is to maintain the
rich sculptural quality of the neighbouring houses but
without resorting to pastiche.
Andy Puncher, Director of pH+, said: “We are thrilled
to have completed this contemporary interpretation of
a classical language. With the support of a great client,
we have been able to ensure that high design standards
continued throughout this project. It was important that
these houses sit well within their urban context and
remain part of an evolving streetscape. We have created
an appropriate scale for a development that belies its
density.
