Da Vadill
The low lying site of a former derelict fish factory has been transformed to provide the maximum number of two person flats with a high level of sound insulation (between dwellings and from external traffic noise), and low maintenance exterior finishes to avoid the need for scaffolding during routine maintenance - particularly on the main road frontage.
Dwellings meet Varying Needs standards and have individual front door access rather than communal entrances & stairs. All lower flats to have wheelchair access. While all flats are intended for 2 person families, 2 flats have an additional single bedroom to allow for different family combinations. Low maintenance planting is employed as a foil to naturally weathering materials
