Priority Housing Delivery

The Brief

Race Cottam Associates have been appointed by Rotherham Metropolitan Council to deliver high quality and more affordable housing across the borough, supporting local people as part of it’s ‘hundreds of new homes’ target.

The Design

The designs for sites across Rotherham have been informed by local ward data and local housing knowledge, ensuring a development that meets the community’s needs.The mix of house types reflects a cohesive yet simple architectural language.

Facades predominantly feature red brick, harmonising with the surrounding building stock and maintaining a strong connection to local character. Brick detailing and the incorporation of contrasting brick colors highlight entrances, adding individuality and visual interest to each home.

Air source heat pumps provide a zero-carbon heat source, supporting a greener future for Rotherham.

The Outcome

We have worked alongside Rotherham Metropolitan Council across a number of sites to assess the number of houses each site can accommodate. Each site has been assessed using a 2B4P semi-detached 2 storey house type with off street parking and garden to give a baseline capacity.
