The development took reference from neighbouring properties and sought to provide a more contemporary solution to the Pittville semi-detached villa typology. The built form is four storeys high and arranged symmetrically. It is stepped back from the road allowing a large planted front garden, and the top floor is significantly set back to allow the lower parapet height to read more prominently. The Pittville Estate was planned by Joseph Pitt in the early 1800s whose vision was to create an impressive estate of large villas,

terraces and open parkland. The vision was never fully realised due to financial constraints, leading to infill housing of a poorer standard compared to the original Regency villas. By introducing a building that was similar in height and scale to its neighbours, we sought to restore the street scene, and help realise Joseph Pitt’s original vision.
