Overlooking the valley and offering panoramic views across Dewsbury Country Park, this tight infill site at Brewerton Lane offered the opportunity to create something special. Located on a steep gradient, the site topography presented its own set of challenges. 

KUFIC took advantage of the sweeping views to the west, incorporating a partial setback to the front elevations and introducing double balconies, offering the opportunity for families to enjoy the elevated position of their homes.  The steep gradient was excavated to make space for integrated garages, while allowing residents to walk out into rear gardens at upper ground floor level. The contemporary design incorporates natural stone to reference the vernacular, combining with zinc and render to offer a contemporary aesthetic. 

Brewerton Lane is a perfect example of how KUFIC turn challenges into opportunities, and exploit the characteristics of unique sites to bring the best out of them. Completed 2020.
