Description
Delivery of the six-storey building, including basement and the creation of retail space on the ground floor. Four floors are assigned to workspace and the top floor is residential, with an additional upper floor proposed for premium duplex apartments (subject to planning).
Designed to follow the curved line of the street, Townsend House will be fitted with contemporary sandstone as a fascia to the façade with dark bronze spandrels, positioned to define the different uses within the building. Sympathetic to the surrounding art-deco-style inspired architecture and heritage of the previous building at the site, the development will also feature projecting bay windows, and intricate metalwork and scalloped detailling across the exterior.
