This scheme is designed to provide quality residential accommodation of small to medium size which is in high demand in the area. There are 2 entrances that connect with the distributing circulation cores. The Ground Floor provides the required parking spaces, cycle and refuse store, services and amenity spaces around the building's footprint. Additional communal amenity spaces will be provided on the generous size rooftop terrace. Furthermore, almost all flat provide private amenity space in the form of a balcony or loggia.
The front elevation presents 4 x main massing sections with terrace-loggia hybrids on the front elevation, as a heat and noise reduction measure on the South elevation, give extra privacy while "fragmenting down" the building to 4 x 2 semi-detached house scale, which is very similar to the houses around the site. This has a strong reference and connection to the surrounding houses and the industrial buildings of the adjacent trading estate.
