Character – 'Dunstan' celebrates an architectural character that is the sum of its parts; a laundry door, a step, an oversized beam, a colour, an existing dwelling, a window, a shed. Within the Newlands post-war Housing Estate, modest clinker-brick homes, of varying types, hold an accretion of ad-hoc built forms; annexes, carports, extensions, outbuildings, services, and adaptations that allow for changing needs. 'Dunstan' reflects context. Through emphasising the addition, 'Dunstan' offers a contribution to this language of occupation, one that highlights architectural elements, use, and time.
