The contemporary scheme occupies a brownfield site bordering two Conservation Areas. The townhouses, arranged in two terraces are of prefabricated timber frame construction. The apartments, clustered around 5 services cores are constructed within an in-situ, flat slab concrete frame and sit above a car park partially excavated beneath. While a Director at Angus Meek Architects, Spencer was responsible for the concept and planning design, tender and construction information provided through to completion.
