Architect\u2019s view<\/p>\n
Our approach from the start was to draw inspiration from the character of the surrounding streets and housing, creating a historical link to the original Ada Lewis House.<\/p>\n
We conceived the site as a single building that bookends two back-to-back terraced streets, reinforcing continuity and clearly defining the streetscape. The design extends the Edwardian terrace typology around the block, continuing the local rhythm while shaping an internal scooped courtyard.<\/p>\n
Mirrored front bays evoke the character of a traditional mansion block, reinforced by the use of rich red bricks selected to complement the conservation area, age gracefully, and bring depth and texture to the fa\u00e7ades. Above the entrance, the new artwork recalls the site\u2019s original purpose, ensuring its legacy is carried forward.<\/p>\n
The building stands as a proud statement of exceptional-quality affordable housing \u2014 the kind of achievement Ada Lewis herself would surely have celebrated.

Client\u2019s view<\/p>\n
We\u2019re incredibly proud of our Palliser Road development, which extends far beyond delivering a residential building. It focuses on providing high-quality living experiences, shaped around the real needs and aspirations of the people who live there.<\/p>\n
The goal was to establish a thriving place to live, where residents can foster a real sense of community. We\u2019ve received an overwhelmingly positive response so far, and we\u2019re confident we\u2019ll achieve that goal.
