Metro Apartments, Guildford
We came up with this innovative and contemporary design for a development of 10 flats on a postage stamp site adjacent to the railway station. Gently curving away from the eye, the building naturally draws you to and then away from its form. The Walnut Tree Close elevation is wrapped in a blanket of render along this curve which appears as though it can be peeled away from the facade. The railway station elevation has a sculptural quality and offers a spine to the curved building front whilst the cedar-clad top storey completes the exclamation point this prominent site demands.
