Oxford House
Landsec
Overview
This residential scheme of 89-high specification apartments is a conversion and extension of a 1960s commercial building, retaining a significant part of the internal structure. The appearance and function of the building is completely transformed with a new articulated façade and double-height retail frontage.
The
façade responds to the varied architectural context of Oxford
Street. Inspired by traditional, storefront bay windows, the folded
design brings depth, shadow, and articulation to the previously flat
elevation. Creating a finely textured façade, the bays provide views
east and west along Oxford Street, signifying the building’s change
from commercial to residential use.
