This development is the first phase of a wider masterplan that includes other buildings designed by this practice. It accommodates 603 apartments located within 3 towers of varying heights, which are located on top of a large plinth that contains a car park and retail units. The southern façade will form the ‘gateway’ to Birmingham following the completion of the neighbouring HS2 terminal. Given its prominence, it is highly articulated with deep recessed balconies and topped with a brickwork crown that contains dramatic roof terraces for the benefit of its residents.
