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.
Planning consent was sought in 2021, with works planned to begin on-site in 2024.
A linear building was devised in response to the rectilinear nature of the site. A previously consented form was used to define the scale of height of the building to the front elevation. At the rear, the massing is sculpted on the 2nd and 3rd floor to prevent a sense of enclosure and overbearing condition when read from neighbouring properties.
A brickwork pattern is used to control window openings and balcony recesses. The brickwork pattern is particularly evident on the elevation to the Northern boundary where is helps to break up the overall massing and linear nature of the upper floors. This unifying language creates a forgiving device which allows windows and openings to move and shift to react to the internal layouts.
A critical aspect of the design is the lowered balconies to the front elevation, which allow amenity and daylight into the Ground Floor which sits below the pavement level. Guarding is hidden by greenery to soften the buildings impact on the street frontage, whilst complying with all requisite regulations.
On the upper floors, recessed balconies are integrated to ensure the overall massing and design reads in a clear and coherent manner. Construction methods have been kept traditional, with two types of brickwork used to create a playful pattern applying simple techniques.
TootingWe 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.

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.
