DHA Architects were appointed to develop a residential scheme which comprised the change-of-use of 2 existing late 19th Century townhouses alongside a new-build apartment block on a vacant parcel of land within the Conservation Area behind Southgate Street which fronted onto the docks.

DHA undertook extensive historic analysis of the site and, alongside a proposal for adapting the townshouses, developed a sensitive three and a half storey apartment proposal with ground level parking below the building which responded to the historic grain and architectural forms of the context.
