villa place

Location: Hull

Completion: March 2016

Value: £850,000


The brief for the scheme was, ā€œto deliver a sustainable, low cost living home boasting efficiency and value for money in construction, proving that this level of innovative forward thinking development is achievable on ā€˜a council estate in Hullā€


Hodson Architects’ response was a terrace of five houses, each designed to attain Code for Sustainable Homes, Level 5. Each house will be constructed from prefabricated components - four parts for each dwelling. This will reduce construction time and improve efficiency compared to traditional ā€˜bricks and mortar’ construction. The palette of materials used is limited; each house is clad in coloured ā€˜Trespa’ panels with punctured openings and aluminium framed triple glazed windows and doors. The four prefabricated components per dwelling are clearly expressed by using a different cladding colour for each part.


Externally, the houses incorporate photovoltaic panels, air source heat pumps, greywater recycling and an eco-garden allowing occupants to grow their own food.
