The scheme comprises 256 one bedroom and 128 two bedroom apartments within three towers that reach to 10, 14 and 16 storeys high.
There is also a ground floor commercial unit, an under croft car park and a shared outdoor space for residents, which was created via a raised podium. Large floor to ceiling windows that bring a generous amount of light and stunning views to tenants, are one of the key elements of the simple design.
