Project brief
A nine-unit social housing scheme in the centre of Holyhead, accessed off an existing housing estate.
Design details
With proposed materials taking reference to neighbouring dwellings, the strategy was to stick to a single, light- coloured brick and experimenting with form to create interest and depth to elevational treatment. The general forms reflected adjacent structures, with two storey units to the West and the single storey bungalows to the East. Perimeter hedging and trees were retained along with existing pedestrian links through to the improved play area, demonstrating how new housing proposal schemes can contribute towards placemaking within communities.

We were delighted to be guided by DEWIS as they prepared a feasibility study for us in Deiniolen. Their interest in history and old buildings was an essential quality for the project. It was so easy to work with them.
