The design approach has been to create a contemporary but sensitive development that responds to the local context with a simple palette of materials including brick and reflects the high quality workmanship and detailing that is prevalent in the existing townscape.
Extruded metal framing to the window reveals and the simple metal balustrades of the balconies add a depth and articulation to the façade with the varied placement of the metal elements creating a sense of dynamism and variety against the predominantly brick structure.
The cutting out of the corners of the building has also helped increase the area of façade available for windows with the majority of balconies orientated to receive as much direct sunlight as possible as well as offering fantastic views across the town.
