Melville Street

A self-build, custom designed project that combines studios for an artist and an architect with workshops and living space. By adopting an unorthodox approach to plan and section the building negotiated the difficult site conditions to establish a new-build contemporary design within its urban context. The elderly back land workshops and courtyard at the rear of the site were renovated as an integral part of the sites regeneration and the courtyard provides a communal space for private as well as public events.
