The 12-storey building is formed of a series of curved, white masonry volumes that are articulated to break down the overall mass and soften their visual impact on the high street, while also providing an important marker for the community services within the building. The library and health centre sit at street level, with the homes sitting discreetly above and the public realm outside serving as a natural extension to the public spaces within. This was the key challenge – turning a disparate set of uses into a coherent regenerative scheme.
