Client: Meadow Partners

Area: 0.59 Hectares

Location: London Borough of Barnet

Re-imagining a prominent office block into a high-end residential complex of 260 new dwellings. Barnet House re-invents the existing 1960s building’s structural frame and slabs with a new internal and external identity, and softens the buildings visual impact with clever detailing, complimentary massing and extensive landscaping.

The structure of the original Seifert tower block will be retained and converted to high-quality residential apartments. A new build element completes the urban block and creates a private courtyard for residents. Massing and height decreases as you move from Barnet House to the new build. The proposed facade design for Barnet House uses a woven stone framework punctuated with recessed balconies and brick panels. The pattern of solid and void, use of banding and angular treatments have been applied to break down the massing, as well as the set-back crown to the building.

Our key challenge was to retain and recycle as much of the original building from a sustainability perspective and to develop a new build element that responds to the residential character to the rear of the site, creating a meaningful central courtyard space between the two. In order to meet residential regulations to the retained core, the existing floor plate will be extended to the south and east by approximately 6m. This includes accommodating recessed balconies, which is an important element of the scheme.

INDUSTRIAL / MEDIA

Client: Bray Film Studios

Area: 13.35 Hectares

Cost: Private

Location: Winsdor

Dates: 2021 - Ongoing

Expanding the world-famous Bray Film Studios into a major new filming campus with nine soundstages, workshops, production support facilities, a rehearsal building, café and back lot.

Originally established in 1951 as the home of Hammer Films, the design responds to Bray Film Studios’ rich heritage, building on 70 years of moving image making to create a world class location for globally-anticipated productions, and further cementing the UK’s position at the forefront of the international film industry. Set back from the River Thames near Windsor and surrounded by retained and new woodland, the proposal replaces temporary structures with a coherent, contextually-responsive design that will transform the efficiency, appearance, quality and permanence of the site.

The design brings minimal visual impact to the local area by being carefully integrated into the landscape. A series of partially timber-clad buildings nestle into the heart of the masterplan with rich planning radiating outwards.

A successful planning approval for a new masterplan was achieved with a unanimous vote at committee in 2021. Parallel work also included strategy and feasibility surrounding the historic centre of the studios and listed buildings on site.

Following planning approval detail design has progressed through to construction. Working within a phased expansion programme and in consultation with globally renowned studio tenants we developed an enhanced technical design package for the Lot B Soundstages, which are due for construction in 2024.

Personal Role:

Project Associate from concept to a successful planning consent through to leading technical design of the soundstages into construction. All aspects of project work including: client liaison, co-ordination of consultants, concept and detailed design.

PRIME RESIDENTIAL

Client: Private

Cost: In excess of £30 million

Location: Surrey

Dates: 2009 - 2017

A new PPS 7 country house at Alderbrook Park in a 340 acre estate near Cranleigh in Surrey. The new house occupies the site of a former Norman Shaw house which was demolished in 1956.

The project goes beyond the reinstatement of the original country house and includes enhancement and restoration of the entire estate, bringing back into use historic buildings, structures and landscape features including: a listed cottage, walled garden, vine houses, and a new education and energy centre.

The client and the design team worked hard to produce a scheme that is exemplary in terms of both architecture and sustainability. This approach was instrumental in obtaining planning consent in the Green Belt and Surrey Hills AONB. The scheme was developed in close consultation with local amenity groups and the South East Region Design Panel who supported the scheme.

In the new house, designed to Code for Sustainable Homes Level 6, two imposing courts act as giant lungs for the building moderating the environment in the closely controlled spaces arranged around them. The courts act as both solar collectors in winter and repositories of cool night air in summer; from these spaces air, naturally tempered by a labyrinth of ducts in the ground, is circulated through the living and sleeping accommodation. The house is clad in locally sourced brick and the large roofs have a glulam structure and are clad in a bronze roofing system with an integral solar thermal water heating system.

Pringle Richards Sharratt acted as Architect, Project Manager and Contract Administrator from inception to completion.

Personal Role:

Project Associate from planning to post completion. All aspects of project work including: client liaison, co-ordination of consultants, concept and detailed design, overseeing construction phases, contract administration dispute resolution.

Full refurbishment of the IET International Headquarters at Savoy Place in London, including major structural interventions and restoration of a number of historic rooms. The new design rationalized the circulation within the building by reverting to the clarity of the original architecture and adding new front and back of house lifts. The project is within the Savoy Conservation Area.

The renovated headquarters now provide club facilities for the IET members including: a café, restaurant, library, meeting rooms, and two remodelled and refurbished lecture theatres. A new roof top terrace venue with stunning views overlooking the River Thames is already a popular events space in Central London.

The environmental systems have been renewed throughout the building, including low velocity displacement systems to both theatres. A new specialised archive storage facility (to PD 5454) was created on site in order to safeguard the institution’s rare archive material.

Sustainability and delivering a future proofed building was high on the IET’s agenda. The project achieved a BREEAM rating of Very Good.

HOTEL / PRIME RESIDENTIAL

Client: Private

Area: 4,000 sqm

Location: Mayfair

Dates: 2019 - 2022

Refurbishment of 36 luxury serviced rental apartments and two penthouse suites along with cut and carve reconfiguration of common areas to provide a step free connection between two previously separate buildings. Incorporating a new 12 storey double lift shaft, carefully positioned into an existing lightwell, stretching from basement to penthouse level.

The apartments are designed with unique decor, furniture and luxurious finishes for a stylish and comfortable living experience. The upgraded interiors are styled to evoke details of the buildings’ history to the early 1930s, with rich dark herringbone timber and chessboard marble colours. Monochrome and muted colourways create the background for natural materials including timber, polished steel and brushed brass, neutral soft furnishings and art.

Works to common areas include a new single storey extension within the west courtyard of the primary building links to a new pair of lifts at the rear of second building. This new access will allow customers to access their apartments from within either building. The design is required to be structurally independent from the existing building with a lightweight structure providing the connection link and arrival lobby at each floor.

The project required the resolution of a number of challenging technical restraints typical of working with an existing mid-century building, as well as incorporating a complex circulation strategy and schedule of accommodation. All works were undertaken while the building was occupied.

TateHindle were novated to the contractor during construction and also retained a presence in a client monitoring role.

Dates: 2020 - 2021

One of the buildings we are designing within the old Nestlé Factory masterplan in Greater London’s Hillingdon area, 9 Nestles Avenue is comprised of 103 apartments and duplexes with generous stepped terraces and new landscaping.

The development will attract new families, provide affordable housing, boost trade in the area and support local businesses. Careful consideration has been undertaken to ensure the landscaping and sustainability are at the forefront of the design. The development incorporates a new green space onto the avenue and a garden walk along the length of the site. Three communal roof garden terraces are formed from the stepped massing, providing a mix of external spaces for the residents.

The architectural design considers the context of existing residential housing, commercial buildings and forthcoming new residential schemes. The new building has a modern warehouse feel of brick complimented with contemporary materials. Windows have been sized to successfully navigate the conflict between heat loss, overheating, views and daylight.

Successful planning consent was achieved through detailed consultation with the planning officers at the London Borough of Hillingdon. Development on the site had recently been rejected at planning appeal when brought forward by previous architects.

Personal Role:

Project Associate concept to planning approval. All aspects of project work including considerable consultation with planning authority.

The new mixed-use scheme at Squirrels Estate gives more than 60% of the site footprint over to the public realm, unlocking a new pedestrian greenway through the middle of a site situated within the old Nestle Factory Masterplan. The existing industrial estate is transformed into a landscaped-led residential scheme with 121 new homes, a double story commercial space and a landscaped roof terrace, all within an eleven-storey building.

Squirrels Estate is the third site within the local masterplan for which TateHindle have successfully achieved planning consent – two of these sites had previously been rejected at planning with a different design team and scheme. We continued our partnership on this project with our client Mackenzie Homes following a successful application at 3 Viveash Close on the same road.

The emerging neighbouring developments have established a green pedestrian corridor running east to west through the masterplan, also known as the Green Super-highway. The last remaining section of this corridor will pass through the Squirrels Estate site. As such, developing this site is fundamental to unlocking and delivering this crucial public realm link.

The overarching key to successfully developing the site was made possible through taking a landscape first approach. The building footprint was moved south to allow prominence to the green super-highway, which occupies the majority of the of the site and connects the established pedestrian route to the east and west.

The scheme design promotes both active travel and visual connection between neighbouring green spaces. Physical and visual connections converge at the northeast corner of the building, which is marked architecturally with a chamfered façade. The building is organised around three blocks in contrasting brick tones which respond to building heights and massing in the established local masterplan.

Personal Role:

Project Associate concept to planning approval. All aspects of project work including extensive consultation with the planning authority to unlock the green super highway through the site.

Demolition of part of the old Nestlé Factory industrial zone has enabled 128 new built-to-rent apartments with generous ground and rooftop communal amenity areas. The residents will also have access to a communal lounge area and commercial uses at ground floor.

The scheme involves demolition of the existing warehouse building and redevelopment to provide a building of part 10 and 11 storeys comprising residential accommodation, associated landscaping, car and cycle parking, a commercial space at ground floor and residential amenity at terrace level.

The proposed form, scale, and materials of the scheme take cues from the existing surrounding area and the emerging context of the local built environment. The design approach gives a strong vertical emphasis to the building and splits the façade into bays in which have been organised as a secondary element. Continuous ribbon balconies against the railway give a strong horizontal emphasis between vertical forms.

A previous planning application for the site was submitted for residential based mixed use development by a previous owner. This application was rejected in 2018.

Cat A Office refurbishment of existing 9 storey government occupied office building.

This project was an entry for an invited competition which assessed solutions for revitalising an historic building into and exemplary office in the context of premium letting values and a post-pandemic commercial sector.

The proposal offers two solutions – a new build office behind a retained façade which resolves issues with existing floor levels and a comprehensive refurbishment including maximising infill areas and additional floor which drastically reduces embodied carbon emissions for the project. The essence of both solutions creates a new green oasis in the heart of Westminster providing approximately 14,400 sq ft of additional office floor net gain on the existing building.

The new design provides:

• A new biodiverse atrium acts as the ‘lungs’ of the building, allowing sunlight deep into the floor plates and providing natural stack ventilation.

• A relocated entrance improves accessibility, while providing a new opportunity to distinctly define the entrance along a busy façade.

• Improved entrance and reception sequence to vertical connections.

• New bank of lifts providing level access to all office floors and roof terrace

• Increased terrace and atrium featuring informal meeting and amenity space and extensive planting.

• Greening of the building and new terraces

• New 8th floor penthouse office with expansive views and wrap-around terrace.

• 9th floor sky garden for communal use with commanding views across Westminster in all directions.

• Building steps back at higher levels to address key views within the conservation area and provide terraces.

• Historic façade, mansards, turrets and features preserved and restored.

Area: 6,500 sq m

Location: Lambeth, London

Dates: 2015 -2018

This project involved the complete redevelopment of an existing 1960s office building at the heart of the Kennington Conservation Area for Workspace Group. The brief was to look at ways of regenerating this substantial but tired 1960s office building.

The design turns an existing loading bay and car park into a new dynamic central atrium, at the heart of the development. This three storey space, topped with an ETFE roof, contains the main café, Club Workspace, break out facilities and a conference suite.

The rearranged main entrance allows people to enter directly

into the atrium before taking the lifts or stairs to their individual studios. The rest of the building has been broken down into a mix of small and large self-contained units in line with Workspace’s successful formulae that has helped spearhead the revolution in the commercial letting market in London.

Personal Role:

Project Associate. Construction phase through to post completion. Oversaw difficult but successful negotiations with the contractor and client during latter stages of the programme when significant defects, that threatened completion, became apparent.

Set in a prestigious site in the City of London next to Mansion House and opposite the Bank of England, 1-6 Lombard Street is a Grade II listed building. Pringle Richards Sharratt Architects were commissioned by Canada Life in 2006 to prepare masterplan proposals for the refurbishment of the whole building which needed to be implemented on a floor by floor basis and phased to align with existing tenant leases.

The proposals included the relocation and rationalisation of the core provision to the building – including modern toilet and other support facilities and new services throughout, while at the same time, restoring and working with the historic and heritage features of the building.

The first phase comprised the Category A and B fit-out of one f oor for Canada Life as its City headquarters. This phase also included work to the entrance hall, lifts, reception and external terraces involving extensive consultation with English Heritage and the City Planning Authorities. Since this first phase, four other floors have been refurbished to Cat A and Cat B including an additional floor for Canada Life which houses their executive meeting suite.

An important brief requirement was the need for all phases to be carried out with existing tenants in occupation – a consideration which involved very strict control of those aspects likely to cause disruption.

Due to space constraints PRS worked closely with the faculty staff to ensure all of the required functions of the education offer were adequately provided, through liaison with all of the stakeholders.

The final scheme required a reworking of basement areas to provide a suitable space for library and study facilities.

This Grade II listed property required a sensitive upgrade in order to provide modern AV facilities and functional spaces for teaching and display. It is comprised of 6 floors providing lecture and seminar rooms, staff offices, student facilities, library, study spaces and a common room. The project was managed carefully to ensure all of the historic features and spaces remained, providing an appropriate and uplifting environment in which to study and teach.

RESIDENTIAL

Client: Meadow Partners

Area: 5,800 sq m

Cost: £10.5 million

Location: Canary Wharf

Dates: 2020 - 2021

In an area undergoing significant regeneration we have designed a highly considered conversion of an existing, unloved 8-storey office block in Millwall Inner Dock into an elegant 10-storey residential-led building with new 1 and 2-bed riverside apartments.

The proposed design has been developed in a manner which retains the building’s original features, superstructure and main facades. We have implemented a change of use from commercial to residential on the upper floors, whilst retained the ground floor as commercial. The layout of the ground floor has been simplified, and includes a large use class E space, waste store and cycle storage along with back of house spaces.

In total, the scheme comprises of 59 apartments. Three of these are duplexes located on the upper two floors (8th and 9th) which are additional floors. A communal terrace is provided at roof level.

The existing building has been partially unoccupied for some time and suffers from being in an off-pitch location for office use. A number of changes have been proposed to the external facades to update the building, improve the balance of glazing to brick ratio and align it with residential purposes.

The curtain walling glazing to the corners has been reduced, introducing brickwork to match existing, and the smaller punched windows to the centre of the facades have been lowered and widened to give a greater outlook and daylight to the central apartments. In combination with these changes, the dated triangular window profile has been omitted and the brickwork steps reduced. All of this is balanced with the addition of balconies at the four corners of the building which provides private amenity space and contrast to the brickwork and glazing. Of the two additional floors, the 8th floor façade is replicated to match the lower floors but the 9th floor is set back and clad in a contrasting material to the brick.

Dates: 2008-2010

These leisure centres were built for Fusion Lifestyle. The brief was to refurbish and extend three swimming pools and leisure centres in the London Borough of Hounslow. The existing buildings are diverse in architectural style, and generally in very poor condition, having suffered from a lack of maintenance over the last 10-15 years. The leisure centres are located at Hanworth, Isleworth (Grade II Listed) and Chiswick New Pool.

The project was extremely challenging as it required a fundamental refurbishment and significant extensions of all the buildings, expanding the leisure facilities where possible, with new gyms, studios, new wet and dry changing facilities, health suites, community rooms, crèches, soft play facilities and cafes.

In the case of two of the leisure centres at Hanworth and Isleworth, local libraries were integrated into the design.

The building facilities remained open during the works, and were constructed during a 9 month period. These constraints did not affect the desired final locations of the various facilities.

Dates: 2018

Extensive feasibility study and outline design work to ascertain development options for the Grade II listed Bromley Town Hall.

The original town hall was built in 1906 with a considerable extension in 1938 to house the need of the growing council. The property was lastly occupied for further education purposes but has been vacant for a number of years. Extant planning permission had been granted for a hotel and restaurant scheme on the site. The study looked at appraising the hotel scheme and further designs to adapt the building to various other options including: a care home, residential accommodation, commercial, community use and a combination of these.

A heritage based appraisal of the site and building informed the feasibility options which were then considered against the commercial viability of the schemes. Clever use of hipped roof spaces and potential extensions provided additional floor area whilst sensitively maintaining heritage assets.

PRS worked corroboratively with Darling Architects who were commissioned to design a new build residential block on an adjoining car park site.
