The development will form a
prestigious gateway development
into the city centre, providing a
contemporary styled home for
local older residents of Winchester.
Predominantly using traditional
Winchester red brick, the
elevations use large fenestration
and recessed integrated balconies
to give high levels of natural light
and ventilation to the occupiers,
which informs the architectural
style.
The topography of the site means
the southern end of the building
is in the ground, which is utilised
as an underground car park.
The building is set back from
chesil street to form an urban
landscaped garden area to the
front of the building, retaining the
greenopen feel that the existing car
park provides in breaking from the
urban build-up.
