48 rental apartments above a row of workshops, completed in 2021.
The brief
The housing association wanted affordable rental homes on a street that had lost most of its shops.
The design
The ground floor is a row of eight workshops with high ceilings, let to local makers at a low rent. Above them are 48 apartments, each with a bay window that catches the evening sun.
The result
All 48 apartments were let within a month. A bakery, a bike repair shop and a furniture maker now work on the ground floor.
