This material context is reflected in the use of white brick and high windows, while subtle hints of Art Deco design, apparent on the Apollo Theatre, are incorporated. A link back to the historical terrace housing that were once in the area is defined through the plan form of the apartments that follow the typical footprint of such housing. This allows the introduction of a central lightwell and courtyard space which mitigates the constrained nature of the site and an outlook only available to the two short sides. Furthermore a communal roof terrace is also incorporated to provide an outdoor space for residents’ use.
