Protected: Brandwood End 2a critique
Images and comments from phase 2a - add further comments at the bottom.
These are a little out of date now, I shall add some more current images after my next site visit.
Centre windows about the ridge? More glazing bars? Render or tile hanging in gable?
Full glazing bar solution overkill? Single glazing bar solution underkill? Disagreement about half glazing bar solution on opposite side. Lead work detail to be kept in check.
Timber gable over girst floor window retro-fitted since first visit. This house type is being used in phase 2b with mock sash windows - it’ll be a more interesting elevation but we have also proposed a flat roof porch, it may not have enough interest to carry it off. The bathroom layout (largely defined by the hoist requirements) creates some imbalance with the position of the window on the first floor. This house type works much better as a pair.
Post detail could be more robust? Larger timber section size. Overall proportion seems to work well.
Better proportion of fascia on this phase. Lead was previously a proscribed material on WHA spec - had approval for this phase and received thumbs up from Chris J.
