This results in a highly modulated form with a vertical emphasis. It is proposed to work with this by incorporating three main visual treatments, aside from the areas of deck/ balustrade/ glazing. Two types and textures of shear/firewall are likely to be concrete and a lightweight multi-coloured ‘weave’ to the two areas of the bedroom façade facing the six-metre outlook areas.

The two concrete walls finish at differencing heights and separated by narrow vertical bands of fire windows to break up the forms. The north façade of the building naturally has a complex shape of stepping balconies. One of the concrete walls continues up and wraps across the north façade, creating as a type of brise soleil which gives a roof form, tidies and holds the north elevation and gives the building a hierarchy of directionality.
