The Anchor

The Anchor
2008
A 5-10 storey residential development of 130 apartments with underground parking, forming a complete urban block in the new Granton Harbour masterplan. The east frontage facing the harbour is broken into a series of coloured narrow fronted blocks, with the long south and north elevations forming a wave, integrating the terraces. The tower is connected to the main body by swooping nautical lines. The materials pick up on the nautical theme with crisp white smooth render, silver cladding, and timber detailing. The wave form is developed on the horizontal plane in the landscape design on the northern side in a dry river bed, with indigenous planting hardy to the exposed salty environment.
