Vivendi Architects were appointed to convert an existing commercial building into 12 flats, which was shortly followed by the design of two additional floors above the apartment building to create a further five 2-bed luxury apartments.
The scale and massing of the new structural element allowed for a lightweight structure that integrates a continuous glazed balustrade along the front elevation with a feature curved roof above. The linear terraces aim to increase activity, movement and interaction between residents, while offering outdoor spaces and views.
This project was a success following thorough consultation with the local planning department, with an emphasis placed on improving the existing fenestration of the building in order to compliment the new two storey addition.
