At the lower levels the new building is composed of beautifully detailed robust brick construction. Above this solid base is perched a visually lighter metal-framed upper block, two storeys in height at the front of the site and with a similarly expressed three storey component to the rear. The setback contributes to the streetscape, emphasising the lower parapet line, whilst the difference in storey heights between front and back allows the upper roof parapet line to be consistent, unifying the overall composition.
The selection of materials both contrasts and compliments each other, with subtly projecting metal cladding accents within the brick block fenestration creating a visual reference to the architectural language above.
