Sapphire Heights was part of the much larger Albion Square project (all by BPN), providing 63 affordable one and two bed apartments. The scheme enclosed a private courtyard for resident parking and addresses Tenby Street and Tenby Street North. The completed scheme was built for an extremely low £840 per square metre. To achieve this a load-bearing cross wall construction was opted

for, these load-bearing walls are not just the party walls, but also the internal cross walls. The smaller spans for the floor slab allowed for minimal edge beams to the elevation which consequently also allowed for deep full height windows to be used.
