BRIGHTON HOUSE 01

(UNDER CONSTRUCTION)
CONSTRAINED BY A TIGHT SITE IN THE HEART OF BRIGHTON, THE DESIGN OF THE NEW HOME WORKS HARD TO PROVIDE AMENITY ACROSS TWO STOREYS, WHILE STILL PROVIDING A PRIVATE OUTDOOR AREA. CAREFUL PLANNING MASSING AND FORM CONSIDERATION ALLOWED THE PROJECT TO BYPASS TOWN PLANNING, A CRITICAL COST AND TIME SAVING INITIATIVE. BY STEPPING THE FORM IN RESPONSE TO NEIGHBOURING BUILDINGS, THE NEW HOUSE IS ABLE TO MAXIMISE THE SITE, WHILE REMAINING CONSIDERATE OF THE EXISTING CONTEXT.

THE BRICKWORK ARCHES, A CONSTANT ELEMENT THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE, CREATE A LAYERED FACADE TO THE COURTYARD, PROVIDING A SENSE OF DEPTH AND SOLIDITY. THE COMBINATION OF RENDERED BRICKWORK AND STEEL WINDOWS CREATE A SENSE OF AGE AND PERMANENCE TO THE NEW BUILD. SIMILARILY, THE USE OF NATURAL STONE, COBBLESTONE FLOORING, AND CONCRETE THROUGH THE INTERIORS, CREATE THE FEELING OF A HOUSE THAT HAS OCCUPIED THE SITE FOR A MUCH LONGER PERIOD THAN IT HAS.
