THE BUILDING IS A HIGHLY EFFICIENT
SINGLE-CORE ARRANGEMENT WITH
INTERLOCKING UNITS PLANNED TO
PROVIDE REMARKABLE URBAN HOMES,
RAISED ABOVE THE PEDESTRIAN LEVEL BY
A GROUND FLOOR RETAIL UNIT.
Above this, residential balconies with double-height living spaces
form a series of bays recalling the interlocking planning of the
Centre Point House residences and providing duplex apartments
with separated outdoor spaces. Facing towards Centre Point
and the new St Giles Square, dramatic one-bed apartments with
floor to ceiling windows with glass to glass corners open onto
balconies looking west towards Soho and beyond. The approach
to the design of the building followed established techniques for
the refurbishment of a listed building. The construction of the
new housing was predicated on the removal of a pre-existing pub
building – the fourth and least valuable element of the original
complex.
