By contrast , said images clearly display the properties access to more natural light sources , with a variety of full length and smaller windows across all sides of the property .

A wider commitment to sustainability underpins the interior design philosophies that have shaped Arkwright Road .
Such interior design measures are however , based on more than practical commitments to sustainability , they are also based on aesthetic commitments to uniquely stunning new developments . New homes should be fit for purpose , but they should also engage inhabitants with their environment and have ‘ meaning ’, achieved through unique materials and design structures . Interior design needs to embrace such principles , while also maintaining wider sustainability goals and commitments .
For instance , Arkwright Road ’ s utilization of natural light means the properties aesthetics are reactive , and the property can look visually distinct depending on the time of day it is being viewed . Such adaptability improves the properties visual variance , allowing the property to feel more expansive than initially appears , along with proven positive benefits to inhabitants ’ wellbeing .
