The opportunity exists to build some 450 desirable, yet affordable, modern dwellings designed to cater for today’s ever-changing lifestyles. The aspiration to create a ‘lifetime’ building, one that can be easily adapted to meet the needs of the occupant's, will be provided through careful selection of construction materials, flexibility of layouts and room uses.
Utilising the physical connection between Farringdon Row and Vaux, this mixed-use site aims to create a place that stands on its own merits. Focus will be applied to encourage a sense of safety and community through a hierarchy of communal open spaces and serve to increase the connections with Galleys Gill, the River Wear and the City.
