Full Turnkey
Process
Moat Homes in collaboration with ZED PODS are proposing to demolish an existing building on fletcher’s close, and erect in its place a high quality carbon neutral building on the same footprint, which will provide 12 spacious and accessible one bedroom flats, each with its own generous private amenity spaces.
This project was executed through a full turnkey Design & Build process, encompassing all stages of design according to RIBA standards, planning application, offsite manufacturing, module delivery, onsite groundworks and construction and handover.
Massing Strategy
The massing has been set back from the Road to the same distance of the existing building so as not to appear dominating of the current street-scape. The building height is equivalent to 3 stories which was considered given the lack of over-shading or overlooking concerns on site.
​
Set Back and Key Distance
The proposed massing has been set back from the road line. With the large distances to the windows of any surrounding buildings there is no opportunities for overlooking or privacy concerns within the proposal.
​
Strategic Views
Habitable room spaces have all been designed with primary windows and balconies facing towards the rear and front communal spaces and tree planting. There are no views into the adjacent property.
​
Accommodation Mix
The scheme proposes 12 spacious and accessible one bedroom two person flats to serve local housing needs. Each has a 5sqm private amenity space provided by an external balcony.
Vehicular Access
The existing site access point will be retained for vehicles allowing entrance and egress to the proposed increased car parking.
