37 apartments, 3 commercial units and underground parking on former brewery site. Conceived as a prime landmark on the Clerkenwell Road thoroughfare and within the Clerkenwell and Smithfield Conservation area.

The development was completed in 1999 at a time when external spaces for residential were not a planning requirement, nor commonplace and involved GML commissioning Hurford Salvi Carr to carry out a cost benefit analysis to help persuade the client to include balconies and/or terraces to all the flats.
