To ensure maximum efficiency and minimise disruption to the store below, access to the residences will be via an external stairway through generous private front gardens. Internally, the homes are designed to maximise the building’s form and volume. The kitchen and dining spaces will have direct access onto the roof terrace, while an elevated living space nestled within the roof pitch overlooks them. All bedrooms will feature pitched soffits, creating a sense of openness and generosity.

Externally, Flemish bond dark brickwork will be used to wrap around the façade. Where there are garden spaces, the headers will be removed to create a perforated screen, further protecting the glazed elements from direct sunlight and preventing overheating. The roof will be made of dark grey standing seam metal, with solar panels installed on the south-west side of the pitch. A curtain wall shopfront will signify the ground floor as a retail use, while the residential units’ windows and skylights will be arranged to suit the internal spaces and create a domestic scale.
