New Build Housing
Grange Street Mews, St Albans
Architects: Briffa Phillips
Award-winning architects Briffa Phillips set out to create a spacious feel to the conversion of a constricted warren of commercial properties into seven highly attractive mews houses.
There were strict planning requirements set down by local conservation and planning officers. Max Briffa explained: "Planning negotiations could have been a problematic issue - that of the use of rooflights - turned out to be fairly straightforward, as both the conservation officers and I were keen that the project used the Conservation Rooflight® from the Rooflight Company. Its slim profile, authentic period appearance and high-quality, energy-efficient design made it the best - indeed the only suitable - option in this particular case. Having incorporated products from the company on a number of other developments, I was more than happy to do so again." 12 x SDR Conservation Rooflight® were installed on the scheme.
