Constructed on an urban brownfield site in the heart of Colchester, this residential scheme provides high-quality contemporary homes for affordable rent. Emulating a terrace of town-houses, the street frontage along Military Road is completed by a 3-storey block of flats featuring rusticated brickwork and a mansard roof and comprising 6 No 1-bedroom & 2-bedroom dwellings. Beyond, a pair of 2-bedroom semi-detached houses, parking and communal gardens occupy a sheltered courtyard setting.

Crisp contemporary detailing in facing brickwork and zinc cladding, with triple glazed windows, form a highly insulated external envelope to each dwelling, designed to the principles of the Future Homes Standard. Under-floor heating and hot water services are fed via energy efficient air-source heat pump systems.
