Project Summary
When the developer first approached GAA Design, they faced an exciting challenge: to rethink an approved plan for 20 residential units on a constrained site bordered by a railway. A recent acquisition of the adjacent land to the west opened new possibilities for expanding and improving the scheme, prompting a complete reassessment of the project’s potential.
GAA Design undertook a thorough review of the existing consent, exploring creative ways to optimize the enlarged site while maintaining compliance with planning and safety regulations. Through detailed concept development and close collaboration with the Local Authority, the team refined several design options that balanced the client’s ambitions with community needs and practical construction considerations.
Enhanced consent
The culmination of this thorough and collaborative effort was a significantly enhanced scheme—27 apartments instead of the initial 20. This achievement marked a considerable expansion of the project’s scope and potential. It was a clear win for the developer, as they could now realize a greater return on their investment and leverage the newly acquired land to its full advantage.
Innovative
For both the developer and GAA Design, this project served as a testament to the power of creative problem-solving and collaboration in the field of architectural and urban design. The end result not only maximized the site’s potential but also delivered a sound investment opportunity, demonstrating the capacity of GAA Design to transform challenges into profitable and innovative solutions.
