Putney Mixed Use – redevelopment of a 1960s block for mixed use
Client: Wicklow Enterprises
Status: On site
The client’s brief was to convert this five storey block in Putney to high quality apartments and office space. This is a sensitive site due to its “gateway” position and our design aims to enliven the site through better use, making it more sustainable.
Our proposal is to strip the building back to its frame and remodel it adding a penthouse level. The form has been altered to create two modulated facades which break up the scale and avoid the existing slab sided appearance. The envelope combines glazing with crisp white painted cladding. Projecting columns support the new balconies and facades adding a vertical emphasis.
On ground and first floors there are open plan office spaces of 630sqm. The three upper floors comprise twelve 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartments each with private balconies. The two new penthouses have private terraces and dramatic views over London.
