Through masterplanning we first collectively developed a masterplan for a defined area of Stockport. This included agreeing on the layout of the built form and open space, vehicular and pedestrian movements, land uses, building heights, plot dimensions, parking allocations, and other rules to govern development. Working within smaller groups, we refined the parameters of the housing blocks and define the public, communal and private thresholds as part of the open space design.
Having established the group masterplan, each has been allocated a client brief and a plot within it. This was the site on which we individually develop a terraced house in response to the rigorous and innovative proposals that re-invents this established housing type. This included developing a technological strategy and constructions details. Ultimately the proposal had to contribute to the urban fabric and demonstrate architectural creativity within a coherent streetscape.
