The development has been designed to harmonise with the neighbourhood, the footprint follows the pattern of historic terrace housing on the site. Light was a top priority when designing the apartments, meaning many of the apartments have dual aspect. Breaks and colour variations in the brick elevations add both textural interest whilst referencing the local area, especially the weathered yellow stock of the nearby Thorburn Square conservation area.
The attractive buildings surround a well-planted, communal courtyard. The detailed landscape design creates a series of green spaces from the ground floor courtyard, to the roof terrace and green roofs. Apartments and duplexes offer gardens or balconies with some homes benefiting from spectacular views of the capital.

neighbourhoods from across the country, topping a 2018 Sunday Times survey, and it’s still on the up, as a place where residents from all walks of life can thrive.
