This three-story, 23-unit apartment building was carefully designed to blend harmoniously with the predominantly residential architecture of the surrounding area. By incorporating textured and natural elements, the building breaks down its overall mass into more “domestic” proportions, while maintaining a sensitive street frontage. The apartments vary in size, ranging from 78 to 130 square meters, and include duplex units on the upper floors with bedrooms and studies on a mezzanine level. Energy efficiency is prioritised, using energy-efficient glazing and thermal insulation throughout the building, ensuring sustainable insulation. The Chesterfield is a true reflection of the values that guide us as a firm – maximising the value we can add to our client’s properties through responsible architecture.
