Location

Battersea, London

Description

Redevelopment of former pub to provide a new 3590 sq ft pub/ restaurant and 5 residential units

Queen Arms Battersea is a challenging development which includes conversion of a local former Victorian public house back into a 3590 sq. ft. pub/restaurant, providing 5 dwellings in the upper floor conversion and a 3-storey house in the rear courtyard.

The former public house is a locally Listed Building in the Wandsworth register of protected assets, situated in the Park Town Conservation Area. The design to re-introduce the pub/restaurant trade and extend/convert upper floors formed around retention of the two-tone pub façade and thereafter became a balance of sensitive extension and maximising floor space.

The significant challenge came in delivering the planning permission for the new house, set in a constrained site, overlooked by all surrounding properties and positioned in a area of flood risk from tidal breach up to 1.8m above site level.

The resulting design demonstrates our unyielding approach against design out positive high quality solutions against significant technical constraints.

Client

James Laurence Group

Location

Earlsfield, London

Description

24 apartments and office space

This project is situated adjacent to the River Wandle and comprises of a five storey block of 24 flats including one, two and three bedroom apartments.

The concept for the design of this building was to create a contemporary twist on traditional industrial architecture; to respond to the past history of the site, the buildings that form part of the character of the Wandle Trail, and those that are integrated within the history of London’s industrial past.

The arrangement of ‘random’ roof pitches and dominant brick facades is reminiscent of industrial riverside buildings. It has been executed in a way however that is slightly uncharacteristic of the traditional repetition of industrial architecture. The facades are irregularly playful and respond to the massing.

The form and arrangement of the building plan was worked hard to deliver the quantum of development and replacement commercial floor space.
