Yew Tree Lodge, Hillingdon

A special needs housing scheme for 12 tenants with varying learning and physical difficulties.
A major challenge for the team were the incredibly restrictive contextual issues. The scheme is located within a site occupied by a Grade II listed Arts and Crafts building by Edward Prior.
The façade is dominated by brick detailing and terracotta roof tiles. This elegant but robust skin draws its reference from the nearby Arts and Crafts building, but employs a wholly contemporary idiom.
The internal spaces have a very contemporary feel. The living rooms and bedrooms are provided with full height windows, and the upper floors fitted with projecting bays, creating a niche in which the tenant can sit and enjoy the landscape.
