working details
The 45 flats are arranged in a three-, four- and five-storey crescent around an open courtyard. They were built by a method known as 'semivolumetric' timber-frame construction; the highly serviced parts of each flat - kitchen, bathroom and lobby - were prefabricated into selfsupporting units and craned into place on site.
