Pod operated as one of a triumvirate of architects tasked with delivering an exemplar housing scheme. Key considerations of the development site was to ensure the successful integration
of each architects design response, from both dwelling design through the formation of allocated development areas. The 261 home scheme was delivered equally with each architect.
The design response by Pod was specific to the northern and eastern edges of the scheme, with the desire to create a strong and uniform frontage line. Internal to development, the layout was designed to be more fragmented with the slight stepping and angling of the development allowing interesting shared surface routescapes to be provided.
