Part of a larger scale housing development in the rural village of Brandesburton, East Yorkshire, in which a disused builders yard was converted into much-needed village centre housing.
This family home was built in a locally sourced reclaimed brick blend, conscious of the defensible space, concerns of privacy and bringing natural light deep into the home.

Sustainability Strategy
At an urban scale, the Blenheim walk housing scheme typifies sustainable rural community development, densifying the existing village community of Brandesburton, decreasing the family dependence on automotive transport and improving the safety of the village streets through a focus on enabling natural community surveillance or “eyes on the street”.
A material palette of locally sourced timber (internal fit out, staircases, windows and first floors structure) acting as carbon sequestration, locally reclaimed bricks and stone accents, sills and paving helped lower the carbon footprint/embodied carbon of the homes whilst being long-lasting, delightful materials.
