Too often social housing catches the eye with its bleakness, or with a kind of garish cheerfulness which actually heightens with irony the sense of deprivation. Completing in September 2011, this project explores an alternative aesthetic: inconspicuous quality ‘background’ housing, speaking neither of low aspiration or top-down ‘aesthetic experiment’. On closer inspection a wealth of rich detailing and accommodating planning is revealed including excellent aspect, generous flat sizes, and quality outdoor spaces.
