It was designed by Howis and Belcham and is in a completely different architectural style from the original buildings in the conservation area.  

The site is built in the curvy modernist art deco aesthetic featuring long horizonal lines in white rendered concrete with numerous balconies, a flat roof, and generous fenestration typical of the period.
