The Terrace offers a number of managed office, studio and/or workshop units, on reasonable and flexible terms to small businesses and individuals in the creative industries sector. The character of the Flaxengate area and the long alley ways plots running along the contours of the hill generated our proposal to split the large facility into three separate buildings linked at high level.
We have aimed in the design to continue the Medieval tradition of high proximity, high density, permeability and the possibility of being surprised. The shallow depth of the buildings allows good daylight penetration and natural ventilation.
