Can a tall building respond to both it’s current and future context?
We were asked to consider a site in
south London recently re-classified by the local authority as an Opportunity
Area, meaning it is intended for redevelopment. Our proposal takes the L-shaped
geometry of the existing site and rationalises it into a series of five-sided
floor plates which morph to suit the building heights of the current context.
In the centre, a 14 storey tower provides 70 dual aspect apartments while
ensuring that a coherent streetscape is retained.
