Leinster Avenue
Affordable residential scheme for Bristol City Council. The residential plan delivers a range of one, two & three bedroom homes split between affordable rent & shared ownership.
Three storey apartment buildings bookend a variation in typology of terraced housing which consist of a mix of two & three storey homes. Single storey dwellings are arranged along a new connection to the main road, which are a mix of one & two bedroom wheelchair accessible homes. The project was shortlisted for the Housing Design Award in 2022.
