Allford Hall Monaghan Morris and Architecture 519 are pleased to announce they have been selected for the Willesden Green Cultural Centre Redevelopment in Brent with Galliford Try Regeneration.
AHMM are leading the masterplan, which incorporates a new 4,000+ sq. m. library and cultural centre, with approximately 90 residential units by Architecture 519. A compact, atrium-centred scheme with a dramatic presence on the High Road will replace the existing 1980’s library, creating a community landmark in Brent. Activating the ground floor will be a café, children’s library and ‘creative cluster’ of large spaces tied into the masterplan through a significant new public space by Gillespies Landscape.
The team, supported by URS Scott Wilson for structure and services, expect to submit a planning application in the spring, with completion in 2014 for the entire site.

We have gained full planning consent for eight large Passivhaus apartments over a split section new office space overlooking Weston Street park in London, SE1.
This innovative split section scheme develops AHMM and promoter SolidSpace’s approach to a new model of apartment design with landscaped courtyards to office areas, double height internal spaces, wintergardens, balconies and roof terraces to residential areas. Privacy, overlooking and shading issues will be overcome through the use of sliding timber screens enabling occupants to modify their space and animate the façades of the building which overlooks an adjoining park and Conservation Area.
Through intelligent design and careful specification and construction, Passivhaus homes require a fraction of the heating energy of conventional dwellings and occupants enjoy great thermal comfort and excellent indoor environments with a very low carbon footprint and minimal energy bills.
The planning consultants were AZ Urban Studio and the promoter is Roger Zogolovitch, Solidspace.

Two disused 1960s warehouses next to Euston Station are being reinvented as a landmark office building by reconfiguring the existing structures and adding new ‘sky box’ extensions to the rooftops. The character of large internal volumes of the warehouses are replicated in the double height new-build floors.
A highly insulated skin will cover the existing buildings and large new window openings created to bring additional daylight. The carefully articulated cladding of the new floors clearly distinguishes them from the existing building and will provide exceptional views across central London. A triangular 12-storey residential tower completes the development which gained planning permission in early 2011 and is due to start on site in 2012.

Our new pedestrian footbridge, designed in collaboration with AKT II, is ready for installation at Chobham Harris Academy. It has an adoptable 120 year design life and will bridge Temple Mill Lane, to link the privately owned Chobham Academy to the Academy playing fields.
The bridge is made with self-finish weathering steel, is 90m long with a maximum span of 27m and rests on two weathering steel tree supports which are symmetrically placed to either side of the road. The bridge will be operational in early 2012.
