Warwickshire based Studio Spicer Architects was given the task of redeveloping a plot of land in one of Coventry’s most prestigious postcodes.
The existing dilapidated buildings were demolished to make way for two distinctive new contemporary dwellings, inspired by the local area’s vernacular.
Each has a relatively simple form designed to highlight the striking cantilevered upper storeys – one clad in richly toned Siberian larch and the other in zinc.
Larch House, pictured, has a timber frame construction enveloped in handmade Danish bricks and finished with contrasting bright white cement mortar.
