The Site

These photographs represent the main architecture surrounding the site

On site, there is a Grade 2 listed building which displays a mural of the Tree of Knowledge. The site boundaries surround this mural. The design of the apartment building will incorporate this mural and make it a part of the overall site. Whilst the mural cannot be moved, it can be included in the landscape for the apartments.

The site is next to a neighbourhood that is mainly made up of Victorian-style houses with red brick facades The houses are typically 2 floors with some of the houses having an attic extension, making the houses approximately 9m tall.

The site shares a boundary line with the Albion Academy. The academy is a modern style school with 2 floors. The academy is surrounded by a field and trees separate the site and the school.
