Some of our team attended a CPD with A.Proctor Group Ltd. yesterday, focusing on refurbishment and the benefits of a retrofitting approach to design. The presentation and discussions were insightful and relevant - focusing on the impact this approach can have on the existing building stock and the implications that emerging assessment procedures will have on the construction industry, particularly with the prioritisation of the industry-wide climate targets.
The importance of staying current with emerging regulations and assessment criteria is integral to our development as a practice. It ensures that we maintain and deliver to the highest standards, striving to re-use existing fabric as much as possible, with a continued conscientious design approach.
Some images of our latest 201 apartment Build To Rent scheme in Nine Elms, London, for @galliardhomes and Sable Capital.
The development is a 26-storey mixed-use residential-led project, distinguished by a brick tower element and a low-level pavilion, offering shared amenity and retail units.
Having taken the scheme back through planning to integrate a second stair, we then prepared tender and construction drawings for the project to start on site next month.
Some of our team recently attended a CPD from @CHPK. The presentation, and following discussion, were both insightful and relevant, focusing on the Building Safety Act 2022 and the implications the changing legislation will have on the construction industry, particularly with the emerging Gateways.
As designers and architects, we recognise the utmost importance of staying current with emerging regulations and fire escape requirements, especially in the context of high-rise buildings. This ensures we maintain and deliver to, the highest standards, keeping safety and well-being at the forefront of our design approach.
It is an honour to have been featured on the front cover of this month's issue of The Structural Engineer magazine. The publication includes in-depth analysis of our project in Nine Elms, London.
Achieving the sustainability goals for the project was a collaborative process, and it was a pleasure to work alongside @walsh_engineers to achieve significant carbon reductions on the scheme.

A new-build residential scheme in the Colehill Gardens Conservation Area. The Site includes the gardens themselves, as well as a scrappy area of enclosed private open space set behind them. The Edwardian mansion blocks that surround the gardens were originally intended to continue across the private open space.
Our proposed scheme looks to rennovate the gardens and provide public access, whilst completing the massing of the Edwardian mansion blocks around the gardens, with a detailed, modern design that forms a positive backdrop to the conservation area.
