If you have land available in the south of England, then building new housing on it can be highly profitable while helping society at the same time. But in order to secure planning permission for new build houses, you will need the help of excellent architects and planning experts who have done this kind of work many times before, so coming to a firm like Urbanist Architecture, which has both on our team, was a smart move by our client. We decided to rethink the plot entirely to maximise the space and accommodation potential while delivering what our client wished for. Instead of matching the orientation of the previous corner plot property, we pivoted the footprint of the houses to face the newly created parking area. We managed to create three-storey houses without interfering with the streetscape, meeting planning requirements and providing enough space for comfortable family living. 

By using durable, high-quality materials, we elevated the finish standard of the houses and produced designs that matched the look of the neighbourhood. We used light-brown bricks to match the feel of surrounding homes, with similar style roofs that also provided third-storey living space. To add modern flair and cohesion, we used outset brickwork features and inset windows to create a sense of depth on the outer façades. The three contemporary family homes we designed complement the landscape, provide much-needed new accomodation in the area and generate significant income for our client. Which sounds like a win all round.
