As 59 Ham Street nears completion attention has turned towards the external elements, like the walls, gates and garden.
A few days after the previous picture I was walking down Ham Street again and this time the construction of the garden was well under way; the drive was completed, the lawn half planted and some shrubs were waiting to be planted.
Next door, which was already occupied, had got further and had the gate in place. The design is standard, almost mandatory these days, but the colour make it more interesting.
I'm struggling with the sheer blandness of the architecture - This cannot have been a cheap plot of land, and yet there seems to be little design aspiration here. Compared to the build quality of the Huf Haus next door, this has all the grace of a Portacabin stack on a crematorium. No focal point, no attention to detailing, and no a boundary wall that has no relation to the rest of the structure. It's just depressing.
