Townhouse row, brick & panel bays
A row of three-storey townhouses in tan brick, with each unit's bay window stack picked out in dark olive panel and a black canopy over every entry. The row reads as one rhythm from the street: brick, bay, canopy, gable, repeated down the block. Photographed complete and occupied in August, with the low sun raking across the brick — the light that shows whether a long elevation is actually straight.

On site
The work, up close.
Worth knowing
What does repetition ask of the work?
On a townhouse row every detail happens six or eight times in a straight line, so the eye catches any unit that differs. The panel reveals, the canopy depth and the trim at each gable have to be identical from end to end. Golden-hour light is unforgiving on this; it is also why the row photographs well.
Why panel on the bays?
The bays project from the brick, and cladding them in a flat, dark panel makes the stack of windows read as one crisp element rather than three separate holes in the wall. The transition back to brick at each side is where the flashing lives.
Materials
What it’s made of.
Panel cladding, dark olive
Wrapping each bay stack so the windows read as one vertical element against the brick.

Entry canopies, black
One over every door, the same depth and reveal down the whole row.
