Project: Grange Mansions

Description: The project consists of a ‘tower’ of 4 new dwellings terminating the west end of an existing block of apartments completed in the 1960’s. The new apartments share the front and rear building lines, as well as the parapet height of the ‘host’ building, but exhibit a radically different materiality, contrasting with, but complimenting the neighbouring block. The zinc clad tower has a gently curved end elevation and dramatically cantilevered glazed balconies overlooking the adjacent park. Apartments are simply configured, one per floor, accessed from a shared stairway placed against the party wall. The new building optimises redundant space on the site, and provides a set of elegantly configured new homes.

Status: Complete
