Site 1
On the east side of Peter's Lane between School Lane and College Lane.
URBAN FORM
This is a building that sets the scale and character of Peter's Lane, and forms a public space at each end. It is not a high building, due to its relationship with the Bluecoat Chambers.
USES
Upper Floors
High "loft space" for apartments/offices
First Floor
Upper part of shop units, service corridor, storage and staff areas.
Ground Floor
Shop units facing Peter's Lane.
Basement

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The Palatine Building is to be retained, and creatively re-used for a modern retail "house". 18 School Lane is to be retained. Neither of these buildings is listed, but their contribution to the street scene and the history of the area is important.
MATERIALS
Granite external walls. Bronze framing to curved glazed shop units. White internal finishes.
