FIRST FLOOR PLAN
the thickness of the brick external walls. The
brickwork is bagged and painted selected stock
bricks to create a textured surface to contrast
with the slick glass, steel and aluminium used
elsewhere. Composite timber decking is used
extensively around the building terraces and to
the soffits of the first floor and roof overhangs.
The building, at roof level, is surrounded by a wide
aluminium ‘eyelid’ feature for additional shading
and to create the impression of a very straight,
thin roof overhang.
The articulation is created by generally setting
back the ground and top floor level glazing from the
building line, and accentuating the middle floors. A
layered effect is created by extending the cladding
to these two floors above and below the floor
levels respectively, giving vertical proportions to
what is otherwise a horizontally linear approach.
