'Embassy Gardens' in Nine Elms wins Planning

London Borough of Wandsworth has approved the planning application for ‘Embassy Gardens’, the redevelopment of the area around the new US embassy in Nine Elms for developers Ballymore Group.


The masterplan for the redevelopment includes 2,000 new homes, 500,000 sqft of office, 130,000 sqft of retail space, a hotel, leisure facilities and extensive high quality public realm which will link this area together with the neighbouring sites and the city beyond.


Set within the framework of the Terry Farrell and Partners masterplan, together with Fielden Clegg Bradley and FLACQ, AHMM have designed the three plots which form the first phase of this exciting new residential quarter. AHMM’s proposal for the buildings which sit at the western gateway to the site, will form a landmark in this new district. The group of buildings comprises five elements which surround a central courtyard; four muscular brick volumes of differing heights, and an interconnecting high level bridge-structure, which maintains views out to the river and North London beyond from the central communal amenity space.


The project will start on site mid 2012 for completion in 2015.


Read about the project on Wandsworth Council’s website.

 

North London Hospice

North London Hospice

Our North London Hospice project, which will offer specialist palliative care to patients with life limiting illnesses, is nearing completion in Enfield.


The North London Hospice charity which operates in Barnet, Enfield and Haringey, provides emotional and practical support to patients and their families. The new building will provide local day care to those in the immediate area, avoiding the current need to travel to Finchley, as well as providing a base for the charity’s staff to extend their services and receive training.


The charity relies on donations to continue to treat their patients. If you would like to donate, please visit their website here.
