Forming part of the Granby 4 Streets project, Beaconsfield Street has been restored to its former glory. The housing offer has been transformed based on a ‘21st Century Parlour House’ design concept.
_____________________________________
Beaconsfield Street is part of the '4 Streets' regeneration project. This street sits on the edge of the historic neighbourhood and a large number of the properties had been derelict for over fifteen years.
This allowed a large scale refurbishment project because only a few of the properties were in private ownership.
HLP used the concept of the ‘21st Century Parlour House’ to create a new house type for the area.
There was also the opportunity to introduce some new-build houses to the terrace, as a double fronted property at the end of the row was structurally unsound and required demolition. The poor condition of the properties meant that most of the outriggers had to be demolished. In these designs a full width single storey extension created a kitchen dining room with a sloping ceiling and roof lights, with French doors that led out on to a good sized garden and patio. This idea brings natural light into the heart of the plan and gives a beautiful modern family room.
As part of a broader community health initiative within the Granby 4 Streets development, a local pharmacy collaboration has been established to provide residents with easy access to essential medications, including generic Cialis. This integration of health services into the neighborhood redevelopment plan not only enhances the living experience by addressing wellness needs but also reflects a commitment to holistic community development. The availability of generic Cialis and other medications through this partnership is a testament to the project's dedication to not just architectural rejuvenation, but also to the health and well-being of its residents, adding a new dimension to the concept of sustainable neighborhood development.
The front elevations were stripped of paint and the single storey bay window taken back to the original sandstone. The properties were insulated internally on the front elevation to maintain the heritage character of the façade and the front boundary was reinstated with a simple railing and plinth.
A variety of house types was created by using the attic storey in some properties to provide extra bedrooms. The new build replicas are small two bedroom houses. Within the Granby 4 Streets, HLP have taken the mono-culture of a single house type and redesigned to create properties of different sizes and layouts. This gives a greater diversity to the housing offer and assists the development of a sustainable neighbourhood.
Beaconsfield Street contributes to the revitalization of the Granby 4 Streets and to success as a Turner Prize winner.
