CODA Bespoke has created a pair of matching black houses in Sheffield, England, for graphic designer twins Nik and Jon Daughtry.
Sheffield-based CODA Bespoke collaborated with the Daughtrys to create the two neighbouring houses, called Twin-build, that share an aesthetic.

"The simple rotation of the main body of the buildings, so that Jon's gable faced the pond and Nik's didn't, transformed the way the homes flow internally and gave each home its unique feel," added CODA Bespoke.
