The building is arranged in a horseshoe around a south-facing courtyard garden, creating a sheltered green space at its heart. A robust brick frontage addresses the urban context to the north, while lighter façades open to green spaces to the south. The material expression reinforces this dual character, responding to surrounding listed buildings and the adjacent green spaces of Surrey Square Park and Nature Garden.

Following HAPPI principles, the scheme provides several high-quality shared spaces, including the courtyard garden, ground floor residents’ lounge, hobby room, rooftop lounge and terrace. Deck access routes connect homes and encourage informal encounters, helping foster neighbourly interaction while allowing residents to live independently.

Designed to Passivhaus standards, every home benefits from dual aspect, natural light and cross-ventilation. Sustainability and social value are integrated throughout, with a compact efficient form, on-site renewables and a design that supports ageing in place.
