Architecture 2B were commissioned to unlock the potential of this challenging sloping site. The innovative design solution enabled 20 contemporary apartments to be created, each with panoramic views of the valley and town centre beyond. The concept for this scheme was that of an ‘inhabited ruin’. Stone walls with random openings step down the hillside, the ruin. Rising out of these walls, and filling the openings, are the new modern elements of glass and timber. Balconies protrude through the walls to add further depth and detail. The project was completed in December 2006.
