Harvest House is an existing factory / warehouse building sitting on Leaside Road in Hackney, North London. Set within a collection light industrial building, numerous recent large scale residential developments have transformed this area.
These largely astride the Lee River Canal, which sits to the North of the site, set within the marshes which stretch southwards towards Hackney Wick and the Olympic village.
T2S were engaged to develop proposals for a large-scale part 6 and part 7 storey missed use development. A ‘c’ shaped form was created, pushing the mass against the Canal, Road and Western boundary, to allow daylight deep into the square footprint.
A quantum of commercial space was provided to replicate the employment floor space lost by demolishing the existing building. Private and affordable residential apartments were created at the upper levels and to the rear, where the building benefits from views along the Marshes.
The design features a series of angled forms which create definition and react to the local urban grain and vernacular. We decided to then use a calming palette and window pattern to highlight the interest of the form. Balconies are recessed within this grid, so the design has a playfulness and informality.
Different brick tones help to create a calm palette of materials to further emphasise the form and mass. The standard grey set back floor is avoided by using the splintering geometry of the lower floors, which in our view is a more simple elegant top floor solution.
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.
