Tranmere Road
This site off Tranmere Road is restricted and presented difficulties in Town Planning terms. The design achieves three novel “town houses” based round private external spaces, reducing circulation space to the minimum and maximising useable space. The clean lines of the houses completed in 2009 provide a contrast to the regular south London surrounding houses. The houses sold readily into a difficult market.
