Design & Plans
Concept
The design introduces two contemporary family homes that maximise the potential of a constrained urban site while responding sensitively to the surrounding residential context.
Planning
The proposal carefully considered neighbouring properties, existing roof forms and the established streetscape, creating a development that integrates naturally within the local environment.
Detailing
A refined material palette of off-white brickwork, black slate roofs, timber detailing and frameless glazed balconies creates a timeless architectural identity with a contemporary character.

The Journey
Bettyglen was conceived as a high-quality infill housing development that demonstrates how underutilised urban sites can be transformed into sustainable family homes. The proposal carefully balances contemporary architectural design with the established character of the surrounding neighbourhood, creating a development that enhances both the site and the wider streetscape.
Each three-storey home has been designed to maximise natural light, provide generous family accommodation and strengthen the relationship between indoor and outdoor living. Together with new landscaping, off-street parking and carefully considered architectural detailing, the proposal illustrates the potential for thoughtful residential development within existing communities.
