Covington Court is a 9-unit, tenure-blind housing scheme on a steeply sloping site in Croydon, for the affordable housing developer Brick by Brick. The proposed building partially occupies one of the Borough’s ‘small sites’, and takes in views of Norbury Recreation Ground. The building references local arts and crafts building styles, including thoughtful brick details with rotated soldier courses, inset panels and alternating recessed and flush mortar banding that gives expression and articulation to the façade. Our proposal integrates with its landscape, negotiating the site levels to provide step-free access on both sides, while carving out communal and growing space for residents.
