This housing scheme is part of the Sainsbury's supermarket development. It comprises of a terrace of eleven very unique houses lined along the bank of the Regent's Canal. The houses lie on the south bank and face north onto the canal. The south elevation faces onto Sainsbury's service yard and consist of a blank facade of profiled metal cladding with an escape door from every house. The main access to the dwellings is from a low level private canalside path. One enters on the lowest level into a hall containing a stair. There is also a bedroom with bathroom and a box room on this level. The first floor contains the living, kitchen and dining areas. In the double height dining area, views out are afforded via an industrial door, which can be rolled up to link the indoors to the outside and a small private balcony. The second floor holds a family bathroom and two more bedrooms, both of which enjoy a view down through the house to the first floor. Roof lights compliment the lighting
