This project fills gaps in two adjacent 19th Century residential streets.

On the Gaisford Street site, the space of three terraced houses is filled with five maisonettes, all with direct access to the street. The public entrances are similar in form and scale to those in the existing houses.

On the Caversham Road site, the missing half of the large semi-detached villa is replaced to provide two new maisonettes. The level and form of the roof of the original villa is extended over the new structure. The new fenestration has a contrasting pattern to that of the existing house, but agrees with it in scale.

In both buildings the lower apartments have access to private gardens, while the upper apartments have balconies.

The brief called for a community centre between the gardens of the new buildings as a second phase but this was later abandoned.

Both buildings are finished in stucco, with acrylic finished metal windows and slate roof and felt roofs.
