Anyone with an interest in Park Hill has probably had their say this week on the very colourful new additions to the building.

The original building, which was developed in the 1960s, featured distinctive brickwork. Constructed in four bright colours, each row of brick represented a ’street in the sky’ and ranged from plum, terracotta, beige and ivory. As the largest Grade II* Listed building in Europe it was really important that the redeveloped Park Hill retained this distinct element so that’s why we feel incredibly proud to have delivered something that emulates the original form.

Something we’ve also done is to flip the proportions around, changing the windows from two-thirds brick and one-third window in the original building to two thirds glazing and one third solid panel in the modern version, thus flooding the apartments with natural light. These panels are anodised aluminium, a fantastic material, that offers a fabulous sparkle and lustre, which alters in appearance depending on the light levels and the angle they are viewed from.

The most exciting achievement though is that for the first time people can see how the regenerated Park Hill will appear in the future – bright, bold and beautiful! Let us know what you think about the panels below or alternatively register your interest to find out more as the scheme progresses!
