Five unit types are mixed over five floors around a central green courtyard. Both unit and scheme react to the orientation of the sun on their own scale. The scheme is introverted, with living spaces orientated towards the courtyard, while services are pushed to the exterior. This is expressed externally with vibrant coloured fibre cement cladding facing the courtyard, and understated weathered steel on the exterior.
