Richmond Green is one of three new developments commissioned by the London Borough of Sutton. The 21 new homes sit on the edge of a post-war housing estate, overlooking open land and the River Wandle. The family homes are arranged as a ‘staggered terrace’ and replace a row of one-bed bungalows. Each home is connected to another by a single storey dining room which encloses a shared courtyard. Pitched roofs undulate across the site and create a strong rhythm along a shallow crescent. The houses are clad in brick, in-situ timber shuttered concrete, tinted pink to create an interesting sense of contrast.
