Why Borough

Borough's housing pattern shapes the design

Borough is Georgian and Victorian terraces, market quarter. The dominant stock — georgian and victorian terraces, warehouse conversions — has specific constraints and opportunities for planning permission drawings. Side returns sit better on bay-fronted Victorian terraces than on detached 1930s semis. Mansards work where the existing roofscape supports them. We design to the block, not the brochure.
