Greenfield Road Mews is submitted for planning

BPN Architects have submitted plans for 3 new contemporary mews houses in Harborne, Birmingham

Following our successful Harborne Mews scheme we were commissioned to design a similar scheme in the Greenfield Road Conservation Area of Harborne. Our response to the site which is constrained by overlooking issues was to create  a low profile and inward looking mews development that reduces overlooking into the neighboring gardens and properties. Deliberately contemporary in appearance, our proposed solution seeks to create an intimate courtyard space, which allows the new mews houses to enclose it on two sides with the existing buildings providing enclosure to the south.

The unique characteristics of the site formed the basis for the mews house design. The site is the only white building in the street and to celebrate this the mews houses have been designed with white facing bricks to create a homely vernacular.
