The Crosstrees development, a steeply sloping site, on differing levels brought challenges, we were delighted to bring engineering expertise to the scheme.Paul Elphick,

Crosstrees is a new development of apartments on Lilliput Road, one of the most desirable addresses in Canford Cliffs.
Built in four blocks, Crosstrees is situated on a steeply sloping site next to Parkstone Golf Club and offering amazing and expansive views. Each of the four buildings contains nine spacious open-plan apartments with private balconies or terraces. Two penthouse apartments feature on the top floors of each building. Property prices range from £450,000 to £195,000.
The Development features contiguous piled retaining structures for the undercroft carparks and has been built on challenging topography of differing levels, and in amongst protected trees.
74 and 80 Crosstrees have been designed in sympathy with the traditional architecture of the area, crafted from buff brickwork walls, ivory render, Portland stone window detailing and stone roof tiles. 76 and 78 Crosstrees are set further back from the road and have been designed as a modern response to the other buildings, with accents of zinc and glazed balustrades on the balconies.
Each of the development’s four buildings contains nine spacious open-plan apartments with private balconies or terraces. Two penthouse apartments feature on the top floors of each building, both of which boast expansive views. The interiors draw their inspiration from the nautical heritage of Dorset and are evocative of super-yachts. As a result, space is used innovatively and efficiently. From shelved alcoves and sliding doors, to integrated appliances and storage, everything has its place.
The apartments are designed to make the most of the extensive views, while keen golfers have private access to the Parkstone Golf Club next door.
