Iterative sketches exploring various layouts
Located on the Canalside in Wolverhampton, the client wished to explore the possibility of converting their property into a residential dwelling for a 2 person 1 bed configuration.
An iterative process was used to maximise the site and achieve a 46m2 GIA and a suitable layout for living.
Proposed Flats, Pre-App, Wednesbury
The client requested to explore the feasibility of an apartment blocks proposal on their land.
As such, the Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council design guides were used in laying out two apartment blocks with 4 flats each and to put together a site plan for the following preapplication:
• 8 no 2 bed 3 person apartments (60m2 each)
11 no car parking spaces
• 8 no Cycle parking spaces
• 3 no 1100 litre bins shelter
