Apartments are arranged in an L shape giving each the best amenity from the site’s orientation. All apartments are accessed by galleries from a single core and the eight units at ground floor level have their own private garden sitting around a lower level courtyard.
The south west corner of the wedge-shaped site is reinforced and dramatised by the prow of the building, which creates a strong visual link with the tram station opposite and responds to the adjacent tram lines.
