We inherited a Planning consent for 29 residential apartments and circa 5,000ft2 of commercial floor space in a modern new build development on Tooting High Street, Wandsworth, South London. The client wanted us to develop the technical design based on a JCT Traditional form of contract, delivering the works through to conpletion. Our technical information has been generated using Vectorworks 3-d BIM software, facilitating the production of the tender documents for a construction start date of February 2024.

Gloucester Avenue is a complex collection of buildings configured in a courtyard arrangement in North London. The site sits in the heart of the Primrose Hill conservation area and straddles the North Western Trainline into Euston Station. Once planning consent was sought, the works were constructed on-site to deliver 39 residential apartments, 1 detached house, and just over 8000 sqft of Commercial B1(a) floor space.

The works involved the refurbishment and extension of an existing building in Fulham; adjacent to the Hurlingham club and within close proximity to the Thames. 14 apartments were created, with additional commercial space to the rear, whilst the existing Commercial tenant, and top floor residential tenants, continued to operate and reside in the building. The resultant facade works are a striking Architectural solution to a highly constrained but sought after property.

The client's brief was to develop the upper floors whilst retaining the existing Commercial space on ground floor. Planning permission is sought for 9 residential apartments within a modern building over 5 stories. The intention is to occupy the commercial space before the rest of the development is completed so the team has had to factor this into the design. The existing first floor, roofs, structure and slab will be removed; with the existing external walls on ground floor retained creating the Commercial demise. This allows for a cleaner phasing of the construction works.

The client had owned this existing commercial building on Leaside Road in Hackney for a number of years, and wanted to explore options to develop the site into something of merit. A series of developments had been recently completed to transform this area into a prominantly residential area, enjoying the local landscaping and Leaside Canal. The resultant development, which has been submitted for Planning consent, accommodates 35 residential apartments, including 6 affordable apartments, with 10,000ft2 of commercial space.

T2S is working with its long term client, Morgans Management Limited, on delivering this fantastic development in Friern Park, North London. Planning was sought with the local authority for 21 apartments within a detached 4 storey building.
