Project details

Gulson Road is a socially and environmentally sustainable landmark comprising 167 apartments and ground floor retail facilities across two buildings ranging from three to 16 storeys.

The tallest tower on the east side creates a gateway to the ring road and city centre, and a sensitive low scale development forms the west of the site. The design establishes a connection between urban and semi-urban areas, respecting the existing grain and topography.

A central street runs through the development maintaining access to the allotments in the south east and creates a shared community space. Whilst the apartments are positioned on the main vehicular entrance to the city, they are also near the major train station and cycle parking.
