Row houses are very popular in the UK. Radbrooke Village, a new residential area, showcases this style of private housing. Radbrook Village is surrounded by parks, and sits just outside Shrewsbury town centre. 

A generous garden surrounds each house of the residential area. Radbrook Village blends in elegantly with the neighbourhood thanks to their discreet, traditional forms clad in red brick and ridge roofs, beloved for their homey appearance.

To stay competitive in the real estate market, Floreat Homes had to come up with concepts meeting the needs of ever-evolving families.

The house has three bedrooms of similar size, around 12 square metres each, which allows a multitude of uses. One is located on the ground floor next to a bathroom and can be refurbished to gain a separate entrance. The living room is not connected to any other area, which allows a lot of flexibilities in usage.

The biggest room of the house is kitchen combined with the dining area. A vaulted ceiling results in generous room height and gives the space a welcoming and bright appearance that can often be lacking in long, large rooms.

As there is practical storage just behind the kitchen, roof windows were the best solution to provide optimal natural light where it is needed the most. Roof windows are especially suitable in a rainy climate, as they provide at least twice as much light as vertical windows of the same size. Additionally, they are used to ventilate the whole room.

The rational layout has some other luxurious features. The bathroom, equipped with a VELUX roof window, and a light-flooded staircase let the house appear larger and more airy. The strategic positioning of roof windows provide optimum air flow in the house ensuring the indoor climate is healthy.

Every square metre of the ground floor is optimally used and allows for maximum flexibility.

The roof window above the stairs lightens the very centre of the house, an area that is usually lacking daylight. A compact first floor consists of only what is absolutely necessary - two bedrooms and a bathroom.

But it is far from average thanks to the light-flooded, generous and modern bathroom.
