Residential development | Contemporary | Apartments

The demolition of a light industrial building to be replaced with a residential apartment block with 7 units.  The site is located on the edge of the Eldon Square conservation area, Reading.

The properties along the Street tend to fall into two categories, two storey houses with a pitched or roof or a three storey house with a pitched roof. The 3 storey houses are generally tall and narrow with basements.

The new proposal seeks to create a bookend to the Victorian street, mirroring the existing 3 storey bookend at the other end of the street. It also creates a stepping transition between the Victorian houses and the white rendered Georgian building.
