SUSTAINABLE HOMES ARCHITECT. ALLUM

This distinctive and adaptable three-storey home responds to the client’s brief by creating a property that ensures comfortable living for a family of four generations. The home has extensive living, kitchen and dining space, as well as a wheelchair accessible bedroom and en-suite bathroom on the ground floor.

Danish Peterson red bricks are arranged vertically and horizontally to create modern ornamentation and a warm and subtle change to texture. The attention to detail in design and construction is typified by the slim coal-fired clay bricks, their non-uniform shape creating a play in light and dark shade. The result is a home that is rich in architectural integrity, yet still responds to the client’s needs by carefully considering the way in which the structure will be navigated by its residents. The building is designed to meet Lifetime Homes accessibility standards and Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4, highlighting key concerns in the design of the home.
