Rayleigh Road

The project at Rayleigh Road saw the demolition of an underused garage block, which had become very run down and dilapidated, positioned within a densely populated residential area in Woodford Green. The development consisted of three three-bedroom terraced houses and a block of five flats, four two-bedroom and one three-bedroom spread across three floors.
The foundations to both the houses and flats were designed as shallow strip footings with blockwork sleeper walls and block and beam floors above with insulated screed on top. The superstructure was erected in pre-assembled and insulated timber frame panels and floor cassettes with timber truss roof with cement tile and integrated PV panels. The external facades are a mixture of face brickwork, vertical cladding system and Grey uPVC windows and doors giving it a modern look whilst still sitting comfortably within its local surroundings. The site landscaping was designed to give each house and ground floor flat an external living space with grassed garden, secure shed with bike storage facilities and paved patio area. A new crossover and access road give easy access to the communal bike store and bin store and leads onto the parking area between the houses and flats constructed to give considerately lit private off-road parking for the residents with the inclusion of two car charging points for their use.
