PROPOSALS
With a clear brief to keep this residentiallyoriented-building ‘honest’, we have embraced the stacked nature of the accommodation which is reflected in the fenestration pattern of the building.
The consistent rhythm is enhanced with the use of an articulated grid where an interplay of textures will provide variations with light & shadow.
The facade is composed of high quality bricks that utilise complementary light buff tones – with one being single colour smooth (wire-cut) and a more textured (split-face) ‘multi’.
The grain of these two bricks will provide subtleness in the facade that will follow the stepped massing from Crimea St to the summit on Carrick St.
The upper portions of the building are treated with a lighter stone effect cladding that will emphasise the greening of the roof terraces and ultimately crown the building.
