Design Group 3 Architects - £2.6M regeneration scheme for
Roedale Road
A brownfield site in the centre of
Brighton will be transformed into 21 contemporary and
stylish affordable homes designed by Design Group 3
Architects’ Brighton Studio.
Construction has commenced on the site, which is
situated on Roedale Road, a predominantly residential
area of Brighton. Previously the land was home to a
refrigeration and ventilation factory and after years of
neglect was in desperate need of redevelopment.
The £2.6 million regeneration scheme was designed with
local residents in mind. It will provide a range of
attractive, affordable accommodation, including a row of
seven townhouses and 14 apartments housed within one
three storey building.
Design Group 3 Architects has enhanced alfresco living,
with the development featuring fantastic roof gardens
plus extensive permeable external communal areas.
Incorporating many ecological aspects in the design
proposal, the scheme will boast strong eco-friendly
solutions, such as rainwater harvesting and recycling
and photovoltaic cells.
Design Group 3 Architects was commissioned by Southern
Housing Group to design the project. DG3A is a national
practice with a Studio at Queen Square in Brighton and
this is a major project for the practice in the local
Brighton area.
Chris Brooks, Director at Design Group 3 Architects,
says: “Despite working on many major schemes nationally,
we are particularly proud of Roedale Road. The
combination of our in-depth knowledge of the area and
extensive experience in residential design will result
in the provision of front-line affordable housing in the
city centre - putting great homes within reach of key
workers and local residents.”
Chris continues: “We wanted to create a stylish
residential development that made the most of its
location. An outdoor communal area was created away from
the road, within the development. This aims to create a
community feel and we ensured that it was still
accessible for existing residents in the area,
integrating the new build into the surrounding
residential area.
“The homes also all have south facing gardens to make
the most of the great weather and sunshine we have in
Brighton. The roof gardens will act as sun traps and
offer great areas to escape city life.”
Design Group 3 Architects is a design-led architectural
practice with three creative studios in Leeds, Bristol
and Brighton and a proven track record in the delivery
of innovative, sustainable and commercially successful
projects across the UK.
