Media summary

Situated in the suburb of Chigwell adjacent a busy roundabout, the site is bordered by streets on three sides. The surrounding area is largely suburban in nature and consists primarily of single-family homes.
The project brief was to develop social housing units to replace a pre-existing two storey development that existed on the site. The project was to optimize the sites yield whilst incorporating a mix of one and two-bedroom apartments.
A key design consideration for this multi-residential development was to reduce the perceived scale of the building and to provide an appropriate fit within the neighbourhood.
The final design comprises twelve one-bedroom units over two levels, and six two-bedroom units located over a concealed carpark.
The units are broken into three forms which are connected by a simple circulation spine which connects the site in an East West direction as the units radiate around a central outdoor area.
