The Brief
Design Delivery Unit were appointed to deliver this 55-storey new residential tower on the Isle of Dogs, an important catalyst for regeneration within the South Quay area. The building includes community floor space and flexible restaurant/retail on the lower levels combined with a generous provision of internal and external amenity and children’s play space for the benefit of all residents.
Added Value
The client purchased the site with planning permission for ground plus 48 storeys, comprising of 332 apartments. Design Delivery Unit are working with Chalegrove Properties to add an additional 7 storeys of residential accommodation taking the total to 55 storeys and 388 apartments, through a new planning application. We developed the design to optimise the layouts; including the basement extent, communal entrances, commercial spaces, resident’s amenity and apartment layouts.
Technical Challenges
Working with a constrained site, Design Delivery Unit have reduced the extent of the basement without compromise to the core and servicing design. The façade design and materials have been reconsidered to reduce the spread of flame and improve building performance whilst maintaining the original concept intent.
