“The architect were methodical and experimental in their approach, testing many options in plan and model form, and reviewing the merits of each with us at weekly workshops. We settled on an unexpected arrangement of massing and plans with a scheme that creates desirable, spacious layouts and manages to achieve around 75% apartments with a view to the river, parkside and/or Kew Gardens beyond. They engaged early with our townscape consultant and worked directly into verified views from an early stage, so that we could review planning risks from the earliest proposals.’
James Tregoning, Director, London Green
- Provide density at the same time as maximising quality layouts, views and daylight
