background
Following the success of our previous large-scale development, Sandgate Pavilions also in Sandgate, OSG Architecture was appointed by the same developer to undertake the full architectural design of a new smaller-scale coastal development. This project comprised five luxury 2-bedroom apartments, all boasting stunning uninterrupted sea views.
geological challenges
Similar to the Sandgate Pavilions project, this development was situated in a designated "Latchgate" area. This location presented unique geological challenges, including slope stability concerns, requiring comprehensive and advanced technical design solutions. Our team leveraged the experience and expertise gained from the Sandgate Pavilions project to address these issues effectively, ensuring the safety and integrity of the development.
