Our Client, Day Lewis asked us to create a design that would allow them to convert an underperforming commercial building asset into a residential project. At all times we were concerned to keep focused on the human experience and to cater for private, semi-private and public interaction and activity, and see how we could transfer some of the high-value design, social and well-being aspects of established house design into an apartment block.
"Personality and presence are important components of architectural identity and particularly, as with Bensham House when a new building must knit into an existing and mature streetscape."
