The instruction from the client was they wanted a design for a new apartment residential scheme on a fairly restricted site, so the design was done to have a shared car parking on the
ground floor with the building above. To give the residents some open space this was achieved by firstly linking the two blocks at first floor level to give a communal garden area and then all apartments have a large balcony with some extra communal terrace area on the roof level.
To ease access throughout the building the ground floor level has a ramped accesson or lift to the front block entrance and then each block has a lift for access to upper levels.
