Services
We have extensive experience in the residential sector, from large scale housing developments, to sophisticated, bespoke projects for individual clients. Creativity and innovation drive our approach to housing, whether for the private or public sector. We always begin by understanding the specific needs of our clients and - importantly - the people who live in the homes we design.
This mixed use scheme, on the site of an existing television studio, was designed to enhance the character of the surrounding conservation area, replacing industrial sheds with modern work spaces and apartments. The development is broken down into distinct buildings of differing scales and materials, each responding to its specific setting.
The design concept at the root of this project was the desire to achieve maximum diversity and expression of character within a single building. Pattern House, with its interlocking apartments, is an exploration of the relationship between repetition and variety. The design offers a wide range of apartment types repeated within a three dimensional spatial matrix like the pieces of a stacking block puzzle.
The brief for this project required the optimisation and enhancement of a previously consented design in order to improve the appearance of the elevations and internal arrangement of the apartments. The resulting four-storey building with front and rear balconies provides three 1-bedroom flats and ten 2-bedroom flats together with private amenity space, six car-parking spaces and 11 bicycle spaces.
This bold mixed-use development has transformed a brownfield site in South London, providing 202 new homes and a series of vibrant new work spaces, grouped around a central courtyard. The block layout is reminiscent of the surrounding urban pattern with its Victorian live/work units and associated inner-block courtyards.
