This development comprises a number of new build and existing buildings. The contemporary design takes a contextual approach and remains true to its setting within a conservation area. Its form and bold aesthetic of white render, timber and brick establishes a strong yet appropriate presence. The eclectic mix and juxtaposition of adjacent buildings and those on the site have enabled a series of urban design interventions including a new square and the enhancement of a narrow street to the rear of the site.
