Capturing character

Referencing historic structures, the apartment block is inspired by a mill building, with lift shafts and ventilation designed to look like the building’s iconic chimneys.

Building for the planet

20% of energy use is provided by renewable sources, while large triple-glazed windows, high levels of insulation and photovoltaic panels were all used with the planet in mind.
