Wellington Revival Edward Stangoe Masters of Architecture Project report LIVERPOOL SCHOOL OF ART AND DESIGN
ED STANGOE I pride myself as diligent, resourceful, reliable team-player and I have developed a passion for expanding his expertise in the pursuit of becoming a registered architect. I used to work full time for Roberts Limbrick Architects, where I enjoyed my role as an assistant for the residential team. I focused on learning as much as I can from my colleagues and the projects we have been working on. Over the past couple of years, I have travelled to cities such as Rome, Paris, Venice and Florence specifically to explore the architecture. I am very passionate about rugby, having played at Longlevens RFC since I was six years old, which accumulated to winning the county cup twice and earning myself player of the year in 2013. I also support Gloucester Rugby and regularly go to watch matches with colleagues and friends. I am also interested in Formula 1, running, climbing, sketching people, travelling and socialising.

Wellington Revival Residential Project - Redeveloping the ‘ugly’ residential area adjacent to Brunswick Park.
01 Brief The figures from the 2011 UK Census suggest the neighbourhood surrounding Herculaneum Road is home to predominantly working class people who socially rent their homes from either charities, housing associations or the council. There were a very high concentration of single/ widowed/divorced adults living in the area and household sizes rarely exceeding 4 people. The age distribution is fairly even with a slight skew towards the over 45s. Finally people with a disability or in need of care count towards 20% which is on par with national statistics. The three scenarios; upscaling, downscaling and disability households are an amalgamation of retaining the 2011 census demographics whilst increasing the site density to above 35 dwellings per hectare (an urban density). The households types develop over the course of several years or decades as they age.

02 Context The project site is situated between Harlow Street, Mill Street and Beresford Street in Liverpool and is directly adjacent to the proposed Brunswick Park from my previous urban design project. As seen in the 1950s ordnance survey; the site was previously host to post-first-war terrace houses that would have been similar to the ‘Holy Land’, ‘Welsh Streets’ and Cockburn Street estates. The major route connecting local landmarks, the Florrie and the Herculaneum Bridge Hotel and Pub, had been segmented with the building of the newer residential development. The existing area is primarily consisting of semi-detached and terrace social housing which is laid out with their frontages on semi private cul-de-sacs, thus turning their back on major routes leaving them in a neglected state. At 24 dwellings per hectare, the existing layout is a poor attempt at arcadia when a much denser setting is required to suit it’s urban setting.

03 Precedent Study
I chose to focus my precedent studies on existing houses that capitalise on dense urban living. Projects such as Newhall Be, Harlow and The Gables, Crosby utilise a back to back house typology that omits the rear garden in favour of courtyards and roof terraces. A denser scheme yields more homes for sale and the profit could be invested in larger windows and higher ceilings, as was the case for Newhall Be. The radial plan of these typologies is key to their success as no space is wasted on oversized hallways and circulation space. Another design feature taken from Newhall Be’s Courtyard House is the first floor window in the corner of the room guiding the dweller’s view down the street rather than to the house directly opposite.

04 Housetypes Four of the house typologies follow the back-to-back design principle used at Newhall Be and The Gables. The massing is moved to one side of the plot, allowing a channel for daylight to reach the first floor roof terrace and ground floor courtyard. To best capture daylight on site, the plots are rotated 10° and the front facade chamfered to align parallel to the street. The front half of the dwelling is chamfered again to widen the view port down the street, widen the roof terrace/garden space and also softens the angular geometry on plan. The four house typologies tessellate on plan with varying depth allowing for various combinations which respond to dimensions of the site. Housetype E is a corner turner at the end of the terrace block and has a chamfered edge to help turn the corner.

05 Interior Layout Every internal layout has been developed to work efficiently with a circulation space at the centre of each dwelling and the habitable rooms radiating around it. Housetypes A and D have a dog-leg staircase, allowing for a three storey option where the first floor plan is repeated upwards.

06 Site Layout The proposed site layout revives the original street pattern with the return of Wellington Road, Haylock Street and Aken Street in their original positions. The new build terrace blocks mimic the layout of the iconic post-first-war terrace blocks. Four story apartment blocks are positioned adjacent to Mill Street to reflect the height of the Mill factory and the Florrie, with ground floor commercial space fronting onto the major route. The proposed site layout has a density of 39 dwellings per hectare, which doesn’t include the proposed apartments on Mill street.

07 Interior & Light Study The combination of earthy green paint and timber surfaces creates a warm, calming, natural feel to the interiors. This opposes the red and greys hard surfaces of exteriors. The remaining walls and furniture are painted white to maximise light within the dwelling. Although the building form doesn’t allow direct daylight deep into the building, steps have been taken to ensure as much light as possible reaches into the building. Indirect daylight is maximised with the use of large windows, roof lights, white surfaces as well as limiting the building form to three stories high and 5m deep from windowed elevations. Energy saving LED ceiling spot lights are positioned in each room ensure even distribution of light at night.

09 Construction Study As the project is relying on reusing as many materials from the existing houses on site, the newbuilds houses will mimic the standard traditional construction method in British suburban housing. Many of the existing houses are mid to late 20th century terrace ans semi-detached homes with a red brick finish. As the main purpose of the existing housing estate is for social rent, it can be assumed that the make up of these homes are cheep and may not be fit for reuse. The the structural materials may need to be downcycled into decorative finishes as mentioned in the environmental study.
