The site at Gascoigne Road sits at a junction with King Henry’s Drive, currently occupied by a five-storey block of flats.
As a result, the massing strategy locates the proposed building to the far north east side of the site, mirroring the plan of the existing building to create a new focal point. Arranging the site plan in this way has allowed for a new pedestrian route to cross through the site, linking the new car park with the footpath on King Henry’s Drive.
The reds and purples of the brickwork comes from the colours of the existing building on the site with accents to the base and prow of the building. At the base, rough textured brickwork roots the proposal to the ground while highlights of glazed bricks at the upper reaches will provide glints of light reminiscent of the dappled light through the trees of the Vale.
Circulation is kept to a minimum in this proposal with natural light flooding the circulation spaces bringing fresh air and joy to the inhabitants.
Gascoigne Road の敷地は King Henry’s Drive との交差点に位置し、現在は5階建ての集合住宅が建っています。私たちの提案では、既存の住民から Addington Vale への眺望を遮らないよう配置された6階建ての建物に、23戸の新しい住戸を計画しています。
