The Pines: A High-Quality Residential Development in Formby, Merseyside
The Pines is a premium development of 12 new family homes, expertly crafted by Musker Developments in the residential area of Formby, Merseyside. This project features a distinguished collection of three-, four-, and five-bedroom detached houses, all organized around a high-quality shared-surface.
The local developer aimed to set these homes apart from neighboring properties, prioritizing a creative and characterful design with a distinct architectural identity, while also ensuring commercial sustainability.
The architecture of the development is both distinctive and contemporary, complementing the surrounding environment yet maintaining a unique vision. A sense of visual coherence is achieved through repeated design elements like gables, deep reveals, curved walls, and intricate brick detailing, giving the scheme an instantly recognizable aesthetic.
At the core of the design is the use of Traditional Brick & Stone's Mystique facing brick, selected for its subtle textured finish and tonal variation, providing a distinctive contrast to nearby properties. The grey/green window frames, anthracite metal work, and darker brick accents in the single-storey recessed elements enhance the overall modern appeal of the homes.
The result is a development that not only stands out for its architectural innovation but has also achieved commercial success, garnered positive resident feedback, and is designed to provide a lasting sense of well-being for future homeowners.
Traditional Brick & Stone’s Mystique brick was carefully chosen as the main body facing brick for its subtle textured finish and tonal variation, and to bring a distinctly different feel to neighbouring properties, creating a brighter and more contemporary character.
