Linea, Scunthorpe

Modern Residential Apartments

Linea is one of a number of projects with client G&W Developments. Conceived as a modern interpretation of the traditional terraced house, Linea takes its design cue from the rhythm and repetition of fenestration patterns. Linea Consists of 111 apartments grouped around a central glazed atrium creating a dynamic public space. Located close to the heart of Scunthorpe, this project replaces a large industrial unit that has dominated its residential context for years. The concept for this scheme was to explore the issue of ‘street’, both in the way the building continues the adjacent terrace, and in the way residents circulate within it. A large covered central space, or street, provides access to each apartment, and gives the building a strong focus and identity.
