Site 5B
On New Manesty's Lane.
URBAN FORM
A dramatic cantilever turning the corner between New Manesty's Lane and Paradise Street, responding to the scales of the two streets. Two floors of retail are topped by three floors of residential.
USES
Upper floors - Residential overlooking a roof garden over the retail.
First Floor - Upper level of retail.
Ground Floor - Retail with entrances off New Manesty's Lane and Paradise Street, Storey height allows some mezzanines.
Basement - Basement footprint accommodating residential parking spaces accessed off service ramp.
Servicing - From the large service yard under 5a to the east via a lift and rear service corridor at first floor level.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The incline of New Manesty's Lane presents an opportunity for the unit sub-division to bring verticality and rhythm to the building elevation, and scope for the volume of the retail units to be exploited in a variety of ways, through the introduction of internal galleries or mezzanine floors.
MATERIALS
The materials reflect the warm palette found in Hanover Street and at the bottom of Paradise Street. Brick, glass and steel.
