Description |
|
This
mixed-use development on the corner of
Waterloo Road and Baylis Road incorporates
residential, office and retail
spaces. The architect says
that, "... To Baylis Road the
building is conceived as two elements
on a faceted building line relating to
the scale and rhythm of the parade
whilst Waterloo Road sees the building
take on a larger singular form that
responds to the scale and form of The
Old Vic Theatre (opposite) and the
Fire Station (adjacent). " The allsop.co.uk website adds that, "The building structure comprises a reinforced concrete frame and floor slabs with piled foundations. Minor elements such as window supports are galvanised steel, and party walls & separating walls are laid in block-work. The floor structure is formed of 300mm reinforced concrete. .... The building is externally finished in a natural limestone cladding to Waterloo Road, Pear Place and part of Baylis Road. The three western-most bays of Baylis Road are a red handmade Danish brick with white mortar. |
