The units are arranged to take advantage of the views overlooking the canal and out towards the west while stacked on a series of regularly spaced platforms allowing them to step across the site topography, creating a dynamic arrangement and aesthetic, while taking cognisance of the context by creating a well-defined pedestrian route between the canal and the office park, replacing the informal path formed by people taking a shortcut across the overgrown grounds.
Box Office
This was a feasibility study to explore the client’s brief for building low-cost office accommodation to meet the gap in the market for affordable office accommodation on periphery sites using shipping containers as a building methodology.
The first site envisaged for this type of development was an unused and undistinguished piece of surplus land in an office park overlooking the canal on Craighall Road.
