In 1980s the set-back facades have been brought forward to increase the internal footprint of the buildings. This expansion has left the property with an inefficient core and internal layout. This existing internal layout limited the natural daylight into the habitable spaces, creating rather gloomy flats that lacked natural ventilation. The reorganisation of the core and entrances allows for increased floor space at every level and well-lit living spaces with strong servicing strategy throughout. Our updated design also allows for the separation of the residential and commercial access and circulation throughout the building.
