Ridge Road

A view to Alexandra Palace from the developed site was the first sight that has caught our attention. The single large family dwelling required a positive contribution to the street and locality. The project has used its maximum development capacity to produce five spectacular residential accommodations with one being new build house.

The proposal does not change the design and appearance of the main building other than a new dormer and the infill side/rear extension in keeping with the existing tiles and echoing the language of the roof. The basement floor provides a new high-level window in style of the existing in order to allow light into the residential unit without impacting the security and privacy.

The three storey development with a flat green roof is below the parapet line of the adjacent building. A flat roof on the first floor has been carefully designed to ensure that the proposal does not have a detrimental impact on the street scene.

The back land development would be of high quality modern materials. London Stock Bricks is to be used at ground floor level, with a lead cladding system on the first floor. The doors and windows would be modern and Aluminum framed. The existing garage is of low quality and therefore the new proposal would contribute positively to the character of the street scene.
