No. one Centaur Street

Housing / Concrete / Fibre-cement-board / Glass / Timber / Completed

Project Summary

An apartment building placed 30cm from a railway viaduct may seem unlikely but Solid Space commissioned dRMM to design one with an idea for a new housing typology for brownfield sites, a hybrid of the Continental horizontal apartment and the English vertical terrace house. The development transformed a derelict site to create large split level flats that offer space, light, roof terraces and a communal garden.
