This property is located within the Griffin - Castlecrag Conservation boundaries, in an area with an established heritage character. Situated on the north-eastern side of Edinburgh Road, Castlecrag, it is classified as new "infill" development.

The articulation of the new dwelling addresses the scale, massing and forms found in the context of the adjoining and surrounding areas. This is achieved in part by the solidity of the building within the streetscape and the use of the feature 'tower' element. Beyond the facade, however, the building opens up and breaks down this formality: capturing spaces more conducive to a modern lifestyle. The rear elevation reaches out to harbour views, providing a dynamic arrangement of sunlit areas.
