Our proposal for a contemporary townhouse incorporates a highly adaptable layout to allow different lifestyles or tenancies, with the opportunity of subdivision for different occupancies over time, including provision for live/working in various guises or a separate ground floor flat.

The townhouse construction is based on our fabric-first, low-energy design approach. Prefabricated cross-walls form open plan floor plates simplifying construction and incorporating modular stacked bathrooms and kitchen cores, allowing maximum scope for flexibility of layouts.

Biophilic design principles underpin the layouts, maintaining a close physical connection between the interiors and outdoor spaces on every floor, with high levels of daylighting and natural ventilation. Integrated external spaces include south-facing glazed winter gardens, planted balconies, green walls and biodiverse green roofs. The sloped roofs and location of winter gardens to the front or rear can suit any street orientation while maintaining optimum solar orientation.
