Knollys Road

The efficient high-density scheme maximises the amount private and communal open space, while providing a mix of high-quality spacious accommodation, including apartments, duplexes and mews houses. The project represents a milestone for the practice in being the first project of this scale to reach completion from a diverse range of large-scale multi-unit residential schemes that are currently underway.

The bulk of the accommodation lies in an efficient cube shaped block positioned next to the street. A new raised ‘ground’ level is created enabling generous private terraces and a large landscaped communal space leading to 3 family sized mews houses and gardens to the rear.

The material palette respects the local context while adding some vibrancy amid the neighbouring housing schemes. The simple architectural forms are enhanced with high-quality textured brickwork which provides a material tactility to the simplicity. In playful contrast, offset and oversized windows with exaggerated splayed metal reveals animate the façade.
