Two storeys, paired sash windows and broad timber doors give each house a distinct address. Door widths adapt to keep space for a separate entrance.

Read the pattern

Make the lane an outdoor room. Closely spaced doors and low eaves give the street an intimate scale. Adjust the lane width to explore the balance between enclosure and openness.

Keep a generous ground-floor opening. Carriage-house doors establish a broad lower rhythm beneath smaller domestic windows. Colour and planting distinguish neighbouring homes.

Let the threshold stay small. Pots, a doorstep and a wall lantern make a transition from home to street without dividing the lane into separate front gardens.
