Spa Road, Gloucester

Award winning block of 13 flats, built in a conservation area in an historic part of Gloucester, close to the ancient dock with its waterways museum and shopping centre. We worked closely with Gloucester Council's urban design team, which led to a modern building in contrast to the adjacent listed Georgian architecture. We are proud to have been awarded a Civic Trust Award for 'Best New Building' for this design.

Higgins House, Bermondsey, London

Higgins House, Bermondsey

Nearing completion is this mixed use development of flats, houses and commercial units in Bermondsey. It's all about the details! Shiny brass planters will add a bit of bling and concrete panels some bring decorative texture to each of the 10 new dwellings.

Offa's Dyke Nursing Home, Wye Valley

Offa's Dyke Care Home, Wye Valley

The new nursing home in the beautiful Wye Valley is metres away from Offas Dyke, which is an important scheduled monument. It is built on the site of the a former nursing home, which was demolished to make way for this spacious, state-of-the-art, facility. The brief was to provide a building that responds to its setting and provides a homely atmosphere for its residents, many of whom will live here for a long time.

Great Oaks Hospice, Coleford

The Great Oaks Hospice had a very specific need, namely the ability to expand further in the future as required. The building was designed with the facility to expand into the roof space and this work has now been completed, providing additional office and administration space.

The designers at Apex have produced a split level construction with steelwork, blockwork, suspended beam and block, flooring and pre-cast stairs. The timber larch cladding was picked to complement the area of the Forest of Dean. The Hospice was delighted to welcome HRH Princess Anne to officially open the new building.

Barnwood Road, Gloucester

Barnwood Road, Gloucester

Planning permission has been granted for this 9 house development in Gloucester. The existing site is a large garden of a large Victorian house, which was previously developed into flats. The design seeks to create a modern take on the donor house’s traditional Victorian facade. This has been achieved through balancing the interplay of bay windows, brick detailing and proportions.
