The long term success of the refurbishment initiative in Newcastle-Under-Lyme - beyond the 6 properties dealt with in this project - depends upon design proposals that rely on a number of generic solutions that could be adopted regardless of the location. Our initial concept explored this theme:

Solutions for the generic terrace floor plan

• Applicable to house floor plates circa 4.2m wide and 8.0m deep
• Capable of generating alternative floor plans to suit lifestyle options and preferences for Kitchen/dining, living/dining, open plan to enclosed.
• Zoned treatment to the floor plans with central serviced zone and principle vertical access.
• Designed to suit varying orientations, improved garden aspect, less shadowing and more passive solar opportunities
• Able to improve privacy and acoustic insulation across party walls and to the roadside
• Plans which avoid walk through living spaces or direct off the street room entrances.
• Sections which allow for more readily using the attic space
• Proposals which can leave the frontage integrity and street scene in tact.
• Generally furnished to suit couples, single parent families, and families with young children.
• Proposals which do not rely on long thin outriggers and accompanying limited rear garden aspect and access.
• Options for habitable rooms to the front where privacy buffer zone available
