Two residential blocks on a Birmingham city centre site overlooking a canal are connected by a glazed canopy which shelters the floating bridges which access each of the 46 one and two bedroom flats – an invention replacing deck access and offering privacy. Winner of the client’s City-centre apartments for Single People at Affordable Rents (CASPAR) competition, the built scheme proved the viability of building affordable housing in city centres to high standards.
