Highly Commended in the HOUSING category and Shortlisted for the WELLBEING Prize
Kaolin Court is a development of stylish unique live and work spaces set around a shared central courtyard garden on a backland site. The new homes are part of a modern, fluid approach to Sociable Housing. The courtyard garden provides a tranquil shared haven from gritty urban life, with a chance to interact with other residents. The ‘neighbouryard’ promotes an enhanced sense of well-being and a deeper idea of community. The sculptural angular form of the buildings allows sunlight into the courtyard all year, glistening off the shallow reflecting pools and glowing off the warm clay tiles.
