almost forgotten in the corner of the mid-level of the old city of victoria, the tone of black and grey was used over the building as an ironic contrast to the surrounding marble and granite clad estates, and to the skyline above. a small site of 423 sq.m. containing 75 flat units of about 4,300 sq.m. of domestic gross floor area, and with a reasonable construction cost, this has presented a possible solution to a big question of old city rejuvenation.

built with a precast facade on a modular system, there is a deliberate manipulation on the facade whereby every three floors the bay windows are moved sideways on a play of scale covering three storey each time, creating a unique visual effect. a sky lounge tops the structure and, in an intriguing effect, the ground floor areas glow at night, with sheet glass allowing views of the interior. the total development area is 10,298s.m. comprising 483 room modules.

an existing villa which had been built in the 50’s had, over the years, enjoyed some renovation works but was overdue for a complete update. the mandate was to completely bring the building up-to-date in terms of installing modern facilities, whilst preserving the integrity of the structure and replacing the ornate workmanship with a fresher but identical look to the original. in tandem, three new houses were to be built in the gardens, in a like design following a tuscan theme.
