Working in collaboration with SJB and CHROFI, Architecture AND were invited to prepare a design excellence competition submission for Green Square Site 15, an integral part of the wider Green Square precinct.
Architecture AND's project comprised a six storey multi-residential building comprising a range of apartment typologies including terrace type dwellings to the ground level to emphasise connection with the streetscape.
Architecture AND congratulate the winning team of Smart Design Studio and CO-AP and recognise the quality of the successful proposal.
The design was informed by a typology analysis of terrace houses, seeking to employ the characteristic elements of terraces into a larger structure to provide a recognisable expression. Clear articulation of party walls, a sequence of front doors, entry gardens with palisade fencing and distinctive mint green soffits were incorporated into the design, seeking to imbue the larger structure with a sense of charm.
Architecture that's second to nature AND design thinking to make cities work. Working across a breadth of natural and urban settings, our projects are materially rich and geometrically precise, with a deep sense of care underpinning all that we do.
