This project comprises a contemporary residential development delivering 49 new homes across three purpose-designed buildings (Buildings A, B and C). The masterplan has been carefully conceived to respond sensitively to the surrounding urban context, creating a high-quality residential environment that integrates successfully with the existing streetscape and neighbouring properties.

​

Buildings B and C are positioned within the central and northern areas of the site, where their set-back locations minimise their visual presence from the public realm. This arrangement reduces their impact on the surrounding streetscape while allowing the buildings to sit comfortably within the internal composition of the development.

​

Building A occupies a prominent position along Windmill Hill and forms the principal street frontage of the scheme. Its design has been carefully articulated to provide an appropriate transition between the neighbouring commercial premises to the east and the established residential character to the west. A stepped frontage breaks down the building mass, maintaining the existing street rhythm and reducing the perceived scale of the development when viewed from adjoining properties.

​

The architectural approach draws inspiration from the character of the surrounding area, particularly the traditional three-storey terraced buildings that define the eastern section of Windmill Hill. Rather than replicating these forms directly, the design reinterprets their proportions, scale and rhythm through a contemporary architectural language, creating a development that is both contextually responsive and distinctly modern.

​

The scheme provides a diverse mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments designed to accommodate a broad range of residential needs. A series of landscaped communal spaces are integrated throughout the development, enhancing biodiversity, encouraging social interaction and providing high-quality outdoor amenity areas for residents.

​

The completed proposal delivers a well-balanced residential neighbourhood that combines thoughtful placemaking, contemporary architecture and carefully considered landscaping to create an attractive and sustainable living environment.
