This unit is more contemporary in design and highly sustainable through both material use and layout. The first storey is clad in zinc which is naturally resistant to corrosion and needs little maintenance due to its high durability. The sedum roof is able to provide ecological habitats for both plant and insect species which will further benefit the local wildlife population. The green roof system can also help mitigate flooding due to its water retention and drainage layer.
The proposed rear of the property opens up to the scenic landscape, maximising views to the south, taking precedent from the existing dwellings fronting Cannon Street.
For thermal comfort the units provide living areas to the south of the building and sleeping areas to the north. They are also lifetime homes compliant. This, along with zinc as a sustainable envelope system and sedum roof providing potential ecological habitat, makes this unit of high value to its proposed site location.
