Appro are a French company who produce highly bespoke industrial products. Their HQ is located near to their warehouse and factory and so they wanted a new office building which would also houses labs which they would also use to market themselves to potential clients.
There was a very specific series of spaces they wanted to integrate, with an emphasis on the process and series of spaces clients would see as part of a ‘tour’.
The brief was streamlined to be housed within an elegant 2 storey building which used vertical cladding panels, made larger on the upper floor, to heighten the sense of elegance and weight. Cladding panels and opaque translucent panels would be used within the same system and rhythm to give the design consistency whilst being adaptive to the internal accommodation.
A series of 3-d internal views were created to present how the key spaces would appear. A balance was strook between creating flexible office spaces and fixed meeting rooms flexible of a modern working environment.

The resultant facade works are a striking Architectural solution to a highly constrained but sought after property.

New MaldenThe 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.
