	Timber frame construction was considered, but as the new building had a requirement for a basement, with substantial retaining walls to support neighbouring buildings, it was considered more appropriate to use traditional building methods.

−	The building has been designed at the rear to be ‘tiered’, with the largest footprint in the lower ground floor being 17.5 metres long, with each floor above set back by an average of three metres. This makes best use of north facing light, to achieve natural light in what would otherwise be dark rooms, through the use of light wells on flat roof areas. This was a key point for our client, as there are times when she is able to see objects and have moments of enjoyment, when rooms are brighter.	+	The building has been designed at the rear to be ‘tiered’, with the largest footprint in the lower ground floor being 17.5 metres long, with each floor above set back by an average of three metres.

The Stead Street project responds to the clients demand for a contemporary building within its setting that contributes to amenity. The client required the home was inclusive of her needs as a partially-sighted person, and the family members she lives with, and has been met with fantastic client satisfaction. As the client is likely to remain at home more than other homeowners, due to both circumstances and the running of a business from home, the building was also designed and constructed to reduce energy consumption running costs and is therefore highly insulated.

The dwelling incorporates a modern design within a traditional Edwardian street scene. It features contemporary use of hardwearing and low maintenance materials, yet reflects the design principles of both surrounding buildings, and the original dwelling it replaces.

This was achieved using a mix of modern and traditional materials and making use of colour changes and design details to highlight key building features. In order to optimise use of the narrow site, balanced with key client requirements, a highly insulated traditional system was used with a silicon render finish. The surrounding buildings are in part render finished with brick, so it was important that the new building reflected this.

Timber frame construction was considered, but as the new building had a requirement for a basement, with substantial retaining walls to support neighbouring buildings, it was considered more appropriate to use traditional building methods. This allowed us to retain existing trades onsite, to reduce complication and delay and to accommodate the complex design to the rear of the property.

The building has been designed at the rear to be ‘tiered’, with the largest footprint in the lower ground floor being 17.5 metres long, with each floor above set back by an average of three metres. This makes best use of north facing light, to achieve natural light in what would otherwise be dark rooms, through the use of light wells on flat roof areas. This was a key point for our client, as there are times when she is able to see objects and have moments of enjoyment, when rooms are brighter.

Meeting these technological requirements required a close working relationship with specialist flat roof manufacturers and installation companies.

A contributing factor to the success of the project was the design and planning that went into the project prior to development. The project was planned carefully to consider the removal of the existing building and excavation of the site, with timed pickups for lorries to take away materials along the narrow one-way street.

The buildings inclusivity was clearly a key point, and the building was designed to accommodate the client’s needs both now, and in the future.

As a teenager at the initial design stage, there was a requirement for smart technology for use as a young person and to alleviate access issues. The design incorporated features such as keyless entry into the building, sensors and a range of different alarms to communicate different messages. A range of different textures and finishes were thoughtfully considered, to ‘communicate’ to the client where she is in her home, which floor, which room or where she is externally. This allows her to regain a degree of normality, being independent in her own home.

The bedroom layout was designed so that an alternative layout could be provided by the removal of non-loadbearing walls, to provide an additional bedroom. This in fact was implemented shortly before completion onsite, due to the client receiving the exciting news that she was expecting a child. The impending arrival of an additional family member meant that what had been previously designed for years in the future was seamlessly incorporated prior to practical completion.

The Stead Street project was commended in CIAT’s 2018 Alan King award for excellence in architectural technology. The Judge’s comments were:

{|
| Careful consideration and understanding of the end users’ unique needs required a thoughtful and sensitive approach together with an element of lateral thinking that has created and delivered a lifetime home that both meets and exceeds the client’s current and future needs.
