Apartments in Cheltenham by Glenn Howells Architects take lessons from history

Georgia and the city very well from Hawera This is the context for the development of 142 apartments by Glenn Howells Architects for the House of Crosby. St. James project has been installed in remote sites in St Georges Road, a main route into the city lined with Palladian city. Foreign white has been selected to provide a reference stucco finish of Georgia property, and a set-back Attic floor has been added to the five-storey block to align the new development with their rooflines.


Single aspect of one-and two-room flat overlooking the road or back yard, with a larger flat in the Attic open to the roof, which is very good. Entrance is clearly stated above, the massing of the building. The block is partly buried in the site, which helps to minimize the impact of the level of basic car-park.


It's simple, polite building, we concentrated on proportion and simple palette of materials, "said project architect Steve Spencer.


Flat bay window that has a place to sit flush with the enamel to give, with the opening of the vent natural ventilation to set back 250 mm to align with the internal wall. "Many thoughts go to the window, although there is a very tight budget. It gives a level of articulation to the front of the house," said Spencer.
