T2S were approached to deliver a planning consent for 29 residential apartments and circa 6,000ft2 of commercial floor space, for an old Iceland retail store on Tooting High Street.
The existing building sits in a busy part of London, located between Tooting Market and Broadway Market, on a bustling high street, with bus stops, tube lines and various other urban pieces of infrastructure nearby.
Due to the thin, linear nature of the site, the proposed building straddles the boundary to the North, with a series of extensions creating 2 different courtyards for daylight and private amenity. The design features a simple geometry to the front, with stepped stone and brick window detailing adding quality and depth to the frontage.
An undercroft is created for all pedestrians which will also provide access for the emergency services. Artwork, collages, and landscaping creates a pleasant approach to the apartments.
In parallel, we have sought a single storey extension to the building at the rear to create an additional 4 residential apartments.
Works are due to begin in May 2024. T2S have provided all technical information using 3-d BIM software. We expect works to be completed at the end of 2025.
