No matter the job, large or small scale, we can complete it to the highest standards.One type of residential architecture we have a lot of experience with is modern terraced housing. This style of property has been popular across England and Wales since the 17th century. Originally built as desirable properties with family and servants in one place, they rose in popularity with the working class in the 19th century. With the introduction and rise of semi-detached houses following World War I, the style began to lose favour. They have since enjoyed a resurgence though. Interestingly, Ringo Starr of The Beatles was born in a terraced house in Liverpool.There are a number of benefits to terraced housing. As opposed to semi-detached and detached homes, they are a cost effective option to build and purchase. Alongside this the boxed in nature of the buildings means it can be hard for burglars to gain access because of there being only one outward facing side.End terraces are highly desirable because they are generally a lot bigger when compared with the rest of the row. Many of them feature gardens to the front, side and rear, providing more space to utilise for a wide array of uses. The house itself can even be extended multiple times to create extra living space if required.Terraced housing is an important part of British culture. The style can still be seen across the UK today. There are many examples of properties being developed and modernised in impressive ways. The interiors offer a lot of opportunities, giving people the chance to create flexible, dynamic living spaces that meet their needs. These homes can be incredibly surprising because of the exteriors.The dedication we have always put into our work has bestowed us with multiple awards and commendations.
