Brooklyn Road is a thoughtfully designed retirement living development for McCarthy Stone, bringing together contemporary residential design, landscape integration, and a strong response to local character.
Positioned at the centre of the site, the building establishes a prominent presence along both Brooklyn Road and Guildford Road while making efficient use of the existing vehicular access. A clearly defined pedestrian entrance creates an inviting arrival experience, supporting accessibility and ease of movement throughout the development.
The scheme has been carefully arranged to respond to its surroundings, with retained mature trees and new planting helping to preserve neighbour amenity, enhance privacy, and create an attractive setting for residents. The landscape strategy plays a key role in softening the building’s form and strengthening its relationship with the wider streetscape.
Drawing from the architectural character of the site and its context, the material palette incorporates red brickwork, clay roof tiles, stone detailing, and decorative tile banding. These elements reinterpret traditional local forms within a contemporary architectural language, creating a distinctive development that reflects the history of the site while providing a high-quality environment for later living.
