Housing demand drives density with Leith backcourt infill
May 8 2017
This will see the existing warehouse levelled while retaining stone setts for re-use in a proposed private garden area as well as a shared surface parking and storage space.
In their design statement the architects said: “The site in question will deliver a quality residential development in the urban area that is sustainable and accessible delivering a 23-unit apartment block in place of the existing industrial buildings and hardstanding.”
The new build will be stepped back in height to respect neighbouring properties in the Leith Conservation Area with facades composed predominantly of facing brick below a zinc clad top level. A feature staircase meanwhile will be partially obscured behind a perforated metal screen.

Giant sized Leither's or are they proposing 1.8m ceilings? Lazy design and drawing. Loving the 2ft grass strip for landscaping too. Another embarrassing effort on UR.

The real puzzler is why so many architects still have such rubbish CAD software. Not exactly a great advert for whatever is going emerge on site.
