Red House, Blomfield Street

I am told the spectacular colour is just a permeable membrane on the inside of the cavity, with the outer brick wall yet to be built. The walls as shown appeared in just one day, from prefabricated parts. It seems the building is to continue the existing horrid row of flats that look like terraced houses - a car park for this overcrowded street would have been a more useful purpose for this former patch of vegetation. As it backs onto the busy Tayfen Road I hope it will have good soundproof double glazing.
