Building type: The Terrace
The terrace building has been designed with a clear goal. To maximise the views out and connect the apartments to the beautiful surroundings. Instead of thinking of a balcony as an ‘add-on’ they become the main feature and in some cases as large as the open plan living area. In most cases these balconies feature full height retractable glass. This allows total flexibility to enjoy the beautiful surrounding throughout the year.
The buildings have been designed to ‘shift’ in plan from the adjacent flat and accesses via a central stair and life zone. All the flats are 3 room apartments apart from the top floor which steps back in plan to form a 2 room apartment with exceptionally large terrace space.
Each apartment has a very simple and logical plan which separates the social spaces from the private, representative of the building sides, and entrance side and an open side.
