Croydon Council established Brick by Brick in 2016 to accelerate the delivery of new homes for Croydon residents with both private and affordable properties to buy and rent.  The local plan is to build 32,890 new homes across the borough by 2036.

We were appointed by Brick by Brick to design and construct a part four- part five-storey building comprising 14 flats and 227sqm of commercial space together with landscaping and other associated works. It is designed as a steel framed building with SFS infills. The development makes use of an underused site in the heart of Station Road within the South Norwood Conservation Area and District Centre.

The ground floor commercial space was designed to accommodate a range of uses including a retail cafe or community space.  The upper storeys comprise 14 residential units. Where openings are created on the building, feature banded brickwork is inserted to appear as if it is calibrating the solid components of the facade. Neon signage is proposed to make reference to the Art Deco history of the adjacent site.
