The simple use of materials and the round corners ensure subtle transitions in the façade. The sympathetic approach te the existing built environment and the adjacent alley also enhances the curves giving an increased definition tot he facade.

To the rear the balconies and steel staircases offer a structured alignment that complements the building and contrasts against the black cladding.
