City Centre apartments - Page 19

If this is the one by Waitrose on corner of Cemetrey road / Napier st, I quite like it, but still has Some un-finished bits i.e exposed water pipes on soffits to lobbies, external tiling round base etc. Green cladding beats cheap red brick !!!, and it ties with copper on SU Info centre at Brook hill.

ARGH TERRACOTTA!!!

Good render but would the Stair / entrance towers that project look better in say Stone or a contrasting brick ?

***dinp*** · July 22nd, 2007, 04:22 AM

I'd say so yes

Bulldozer · July 22nd, 2007, 05:57 AM

New project by Brewster bye architects to replace Flockton house on Division St has gone in for council approval.

Not sure about the design on this one,but yet another building using different colours in the design.

http://www.brewsterbye.co.uk/ under residential public Flockton Court.

Wish they would have extended next door too where the private shop is. Anyone got a pic of what is there now? I cant think!

roneys_today · July 24th, 2007, 09:04 PM

doesn't it sit on the corner where the sumo skate shop used to be? not sure what's there right now.

AndrewC · July 24th, 2007, 11:51 PM

Its certainly different to whats on Division Street currently. I quite like it. Thisis a finalised design? It sounds a bit vague on the website, and it appears in their 'Masterplans' section too.

No thats further down isn't it. Isn't Sa-Kis here??

Bulldozer · July 25th, 2007, 01:19 AM

Corner could be Ok but Middles usual Brick, plain & Cheap as all other similar jobs, in ten years will look so '2000' era

School kids could design these !

Could be back Of BDP (see NRQ discusion)

paulmat · July 30th, 2007, 10:48 AM

Agreed. I like the corner bit, but the rest is a bit rubbish. It would really do with ground floor retail on the sideroad too!

welcome back Paul, no new towers proposed whilst you have been away. hope you had a good holiday.

paulmat · July 30th, 2007, 01:43 PM

Yeah it was great. Want to be back there still! Although 44 degrees is a bit too warm for my liking.

Ah well about the tower. The crane on H&L was quite a decent welcome home present.

lewisskinner · August 1st, 2007, 02:39 PM

Have to agree. Love the food there. Though I am a veggie, so maybe that sways me a bit...

lewisskinner · August 1st, 2007, 02:49 PM

Great thread. Some very nice-looking developments going on. I think these modern flats really do look very attractive though like many say, those Terracotta ones don't fit in so well. Maybe something brighter and more lively wouldn't do badly in a street like that.
