5 It s in our DNA HOMES ARE PERSONAL THINGS They re about how we live, how many people we live with, and how we use our space. That s why your home should fit who you are and how you want to live, reflecting your individual character and needs, changing as your family does. East Thames are proud to be working in partnership with our architects MAKE to design these homes. At East Thames Group we are making this happen. By working with buyers to design a house that suits them, and making it flexible enough to adapt with their family: a forever home. DNA is located in East London, close to the Royal Victoria Dock and City Airport, two areas that have already seen a lot of regeneration investment. The site located in Custom House will form a collection of three-storey town houses which will create 3 & 4 bedroom homes for small families to grow into or large families of 6 or 7 people. The selection of plots will offer flexible buying options to suit your needs, either through Shared Ownership or Private Sale. We also have homes for affordable rent (available through the London borough of Newham). INTRODUCTION TO DNA // 3

6 The DNA Process From the drawing board to moving in Designing and building your own home by yourself is a massive project. And one that most people never get to do in their lifetime. You have to find a plot of land, pay an architect and employ teams of builders, electricians, plumbers and plasterers. With a DNA home, we ll be with you every step of the way, guiding you through the process, helping you make the right decisions and taking away all the stress to give you total peace of mind. From choosing a plot, planning your home, managing the architects and builders right up to the day you move in. STEP 1 DESIGN & PLAN YOUR HOME We re partnering with people to design their dream home to suit how their families live. You can move into your new home approximately 18 months from applying to the scheme. Our three step process gives you all the building blocks you need to start creating your dream home. And it couldn t be simpler // DNAHOMES.CO.UK

To suit the outside of your home to your taste, you can select one of five types of tree to be planted outside your home, and choose between different architecture designs that have been approved by the local authority. Then you can select from several different designs of outdoor spaces and landscaping, including front and back gardens, as well as upper-floor terraces and roof gardens. To catch the best of the sun, all the front and upper floor outdoor spaces are south facing. Increase the privacy of your home, by adding different types and sizes of external screens Personalise your home The opportunities to customise your home are contained in a Design Code, a manual which has been developed with and approved by the local authority.

11 Create a Bespoke interior A DNA home is a forever home We ve used the classic Victorian terraced house as our model, due to its efficiency in using space. But every house will be different according to what the buyer needs. Each house in the terrace is structurally independent from its neighbours, so there are no shared party walls: it means you have real flexibility in designing the inside. Utilities connections are positioned to allow freedom in locating bathrooms and kitchens anywhere along a service spine. A choice of two stair arrangements will give variation to ceiling heights and non-structural internal walls create total adaptability to the rest of the space, so you can decide where living spaces and bedrooms go, and the number of rooms you prefer. It also means that as your family grows or shrinks, you can easily have walls moved to create more rooms or bigger ones. You don t require full planning permission to adapt your home if your changes fall within the approved guidelines. So your home can evolve as you and your family do. The Design Code gives full details of how you can start designing your new home. Computer Generated Image. Appearance of final homes may differ. Please note, all homes are unfurnished.
