Blocks A-E each have distinctive character
As the site regenerates a historic townhouse (block E) and stables (block D), while adding new build housing and courtyards, each new block varies by age and architectural style, massing and detail. Blocks A, B, C and E contain apartments, while Block D and part of block B is single storey commercial space.
