Last night, 15 October, three AHMM projects received recognition at the Building London Planning Awards. 2 Ruskin Square won Best New Place to Work, 1 Berkeley Street won Best Mixed Use Development and The Brentford Project was Highly Commended in Best New Place to Live.
2 Ruskin Square is an environmentally ambitious ten-storey office development in east Croydon, part of the Stanhope masterplan connecting East Croydon Station to the town centre. The project is the second office building to be delivered as part of the scheme and is to be the new HQ for the Home Office, bringing together three offices spread across Croydon to one location. The Sustainability and Wellbeing vision for the project is to design and deliver truly great places for work that support smarter working in a modern civil service. The project aspires to be a Better Building Partnership Pioneer Project which will involve auditing energy used over the first two years of occupancy. It seeks to minimise embodied carbon and resource use, is designed for adaptability and re-use, and minimises operational energy use as a Design Performance (NABERS UK) pioneer.
1 Berkeley Street see the transformation of two 1970s buildings in Mayfair, London, into a mixed-use development showcasing an innovative approach to urban regeneration. Notable for its retention of 81% of the original structures, this project merges office spaces, retail, public realm and a prestigious hotel for 1 Hotels, making their European debut. Its innovation lies in the dedication to retaining the frame and facades, whilst significantly improving upon the existing condition in operational energy, functionality, accessibility, and longevity; ‘futureproofing’ the scheme to withstand future change and be accessible to all. This approach not only preserved the architectural heritage but also aligned with contemporary environmental goals. The introduction of a new pavilion, an annex office and a public courtyard exemplifies the creative reuse of urban space.
The Brentford Project, a collaboration between AHMM, Glenn Howells Architects, Maccreanor Lavington and Grant Associates for Ballymore, establishes a high-density, low-rise mix of uses to revitalise the High Street and create direct links to the River Brent, Grand Union Canal and related waterways. In addition to leading the masterplan, AHMM has designed a key plot within the first phase of the development which includes the retention of two brick warehouses and the creation of a group of buildings to accommodate 144 apartments over a plinth of high street retailers, small independent businesses and restaurants facing the waterfront to the south.
