BETHANY WAYE
Hounslow | Middlesex

Working for Hounslow Council, the proposal is to reinvigorate the backland site with a row of four terraced housing with private rear gardens, parking and a communal play area. The four dwellings are laid out in a single terrace. The linear nature of the proposal is characterised by three oversized chimneys and bookended with an apartment building to the northern boundary.

A palette of simple yet elegant materials has been chosen for the scheme. A light buff brick, which is common along Bethany Waye, is paired with a clay tile for the roof. Timber will be used for the solar shading to the southern facade and the balustrading to the windows.

A key focus of the scheme are the environmental credentials incorporating; nighttime ventilation, heat storage, solar panels, stack ventilation, dual aspect cross ventilation, rainwater collection, a highly insulated fabric, thermal mass, underfloor heating, MVHR and air source heat pumps. The scheme focuses on high quality materials and simple design; affordable, aspirational, sustainable and practical.
