The strikingly elegant structure is completed by local studio Stiff + Trevillion. The architects wanted to create an engaging design that would infuse the site with a strong and [vibrant character](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highdensity-residential-design). This is undoubtedly achieved through the implementation of the beautiful turquoise facade. In total, the building spans across 2,570 square meters, spread out on five storeys and a basement. Stiff + Trevillion's elegant design captured the attention of artist Damian Hirst who acquired the building for £40 million. The structure will now house an [art complex](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/child-studio-1), the artist's main studio, as well as another location of 'Sticks n Sushi.'
