This project delivers a dense and high-quality residential scheme on a difficult urban site with an apparent effortless ease. A well-considered site plan sets up two narrow blocks where shallow, linear apartment units are provided which feel both spacious and naturally bright. Innovation abounds; from window separation distances, clever fire strategies and flood defences, to well-detailed pre-fabricated elements of the construction. Careful consideration is given to brick detailing and façade maintenance, all assisted by the formation of high-quality internal and external communal spaces.
