SITE AND SURROUNDINGS
The site lies within an area that will face major changes in the near future. It is a border zone between the busy centre of Harrow and the residential neighbourhood. A hotel planning application has been granted for the adjoining site and an Area Action Plan from the council proposes 6 story residential blocks on the parking area at the front.
After a thorough exploration, a clean and simple geometry has been achieved which resolves the irregularity of the site while breaking the mass of the building in order to create a volumetric composition that relates to the proportions and scale of the neighbouring houses. All the previous applications proposed a single block that generated an overbearing impact, this solution has been developed in close collaboration with the council through a Planning Performance Agreement.
PLAN LAYOUT
The clarity of the arrangement goes acrross all the levels and is reflected in the elevations and sections. The units have a high degree of standarization and area efficieny which will allow for a simple and economic construction process. Dual aspect is maximised and the communal hallways to access the units are provided with natural light.
FACADE AND MATERIALS
The exterior of the building is deeply coordinated with the floor plan arrangement and has been carefully studied to continue the rythm of the houses and generate a composition by means of simple elements and raw, natural materials like brickwork with 2 different patterns, corten steel planters and clear glass with aluminum frames.
LANDSCAPING
Vegetation has been treated as a key architectural element. The entrances have been studied to become wide and generous green urban spaces, the plants and trees have been chosen to fit with the local flora and provide a natural environment throughout the year. The roof gardens, both communal and private have been designed to ensure the neighbours privacy while providing lush areas for community.

This scheme was the first in three applications and two lost appeals by others to consider the urban realm. By stepping around the corner in three blocks, the scheme creates up to 10m deep recesses which allows for the planting of three major trees while giving more privacy to the flats. Additionally, four large roof gardens in different levels have been carefully designed thinking of how can the building be opened up and have a better connection with its environment.
