This city centre site currently comprises a series of single storey structures including the highly respected Doggerfisher Gallery. The character of the street is neither grand tenement nor modest mews but sits most comfortably with the townhouse typology. Proposals are for a mixed-use development comprising three town houses, one 3-storey apartment and a commercial unit (to accommodate the existing art gallery).

Our proposals have been carefully considered to include references to Georgian precedents such as setback, raised ground floor, feu pattern and stone facade. However, rather than succumbing to pastiche, our proposal is resolutely modern in both conception and appearance.

The street façade is ordered by the repetition of solid and void elements which are stepped to express both the impression of mass as well the desire for greater daylight for the top floor living areas. Our client has been integral to the evolution of the scheme and Planning Permission is expected shortly.
