Architecture & Design | 19 D epiro Edge is a multi-family residential development that seeks to re-imagine the typical terraced apartment block by promoting a low- density development enjoying communal amenities. Depiro Edge is located within the Urban Conservation Area of St. Pauls Bay. However, the site fronts a busy road, with very narrow pavements. This situation has led to severe urban degradation of the area, were several abandoned and dilapidated buildings characterise the streetscape. The idiosyncrasy of the site lies in the fact that it enjoys breath-taking sea views and is situated directly above an area of high landscape value. This duality was the catalyst for the concept development of this project that would result in a building that is successful in its use and design and contributes to the urban regeneration of this area.
