DKH – Dog Kennel Hill Apartments – C20th Society walk
July 17th, 2010
Summary: Do I like the flats? No. Would I live there? No. Why not? It’s the general flimsiness of the thing as if it’s been built like an aircraft for a safety factor of 120%, i.e. just strong enough for the job but with very little redundant support.
Go and see for yourself and then write to me and let me know what you think. It’s just my opinion.
‘DKH’ is a new build, private housing development with 19 apartments creating a beacon housing scheme utilising timber louvres, mesh panelling and stone gabions, RIBA Award Winner 2008, John Smart Architects 2007.
