This project, on Simpson Road in Hounslow, was the development of a green field site to provide 9 affordable houses.

The site is located at the northern end of an existing estate owned by Richmond Housing Partnership and is bounded by green belt and recreational open space to the west and north respectively. The area is characterised by traditional low-rise housing – with the exception of a 1960s tower block.

The project used a combination of off-site volumetric construction (four houses) and traditional timber frame (five houses). The four modular houses were designed in collaboration with Ilke Homes, with each modular house consisting of 3 modules: a ground floor, an upper floor, and a roof unit.

The traditionally constructed homes are clad in a combination of buff London stock brick and an urban grey textured brick to create a rhythm along the Simpson Road frontage.
