Victoria Court

Where concept becomes a reality. Our concept for this site was to create semi detached houses that appear to be larger detached dwellings.To create variety in the elevations and avoid a repetitive pattern of development. Taking strong emphasis from the neighbouring dwellings, the mixture of timber and render against the red facing brickwork, gives a modern twist on a classic building style.

Northwood chose to work with Byatt Oliver of Stone for a project to refurbish a 1960's bank which had been allowed to get in to a poor state of repair, the initial brief was quite open as we felt that the architects understanding of the building was as important as our understanding of the space requirement within the building. We worked closely through the project with David Byatt who attended to most of the day to day work throughout the project allowing us to run and focus on our business. Budgets were agreed, plans approved and works complete on time and in budget with limited input from us. All in all a great service, not the cheapest but absolute value for money for the service received. The result is, we now have the flagship office of a group of 90 offices around the country.
