Paxton House designed by Alma-nac, The addition of an external circulation strategy to this existing concrete frame building allowed for a greater number of apartments to be accommodated, each with a south or south-west facing living space and balcony.

This tightly set, animated facade naturally led to an angled balustrade design; the angled form ensuring privacy from neighbouring apartments and adjoining gardens alike while maximising the open view visible from the interior.

The scheme explores a series of ideas innovative to the sector. Walkways adopt the chipped rubber typical of playgrounds, ensuring total acoustic dampening. A spare bedroom and workspace are shared by the whole building. Acetylated timber ensures the sustainable longevity of building cladding. Photography: Jack Hobhouse
