Because Byker had an elderly age profile in the early 1970s, the Kendal Street area was developed with a number of units built as two flats which were capable of adaptation to houses should the need for more family accomodation arise (DCMS, listed building description).

Catslide roofs to rear with bright green eaves band.
The Kendal area was the first complete low-rise area to be constructed after the Pilot Scheme (HER 10250). It was built as two separate building contracts, with first handovers in late 1973. The low-rise housing includes 9 house types varying from 2-person flats to 6-person family houses. The flats include the paired 2-plus-2 type, an updated Tyneside Flat design, easily adaptable to a three bedroomed house.

Pale metric modular (large) brick with internal timber frame, and entrance fronts and gable ends clad in blue coloured timber with red-brown to Nos. 1-9. Some concrete quoins to walls. Long sloping roofs of blue sheet metal supported on plywood box beam purlins. Each unit is an 'L' shaped plan round an entrance patio. One storey on north-facing entrance level and two storey on south-facing garden side. Nos. 7-9 are two-storey throughout with brick sheds and turquoise metal roofs with brown timber cladding. Pergola front and back to No. 37. Trellis work to fencing continued as pergolas across the pedestrian ways. Dark brown gates with stand for milk alongside. LISTED GRADE 2*
SITEASS
Unusual plan is reminiscent of the work in Basle in 1959 of Atelier 5. With its well preserved landscape this demonstrates Erskine's concept of a high sheltering perimeter wall to the north, separating the estate from the road and metro, creating a micro-climate on the south side. The strong plan of terraces and pedestrian ways, rather than the two-storey houses and squares elsewhere makes Dunn Terrace distinctive. The strong colours are a distinctive part of Erskine's vocabulary and have been well maintained by the local authority (DCMS, listed building description).
