Quayside Quarter

We were selected to design Blocks E & F sitting on the east side of the former industrial site, with the concept that the two buildings will work together to form a sentinel-like east gateway to Quayside Quarter. Access will be enabled between both blocks from Glade Lane to reach Glade Lane Square, a prominent turning point of the main development axis.

We prioritised the health and wellbeing of local people with stronger connections to the outdoors. The design is inspired by the contained greenery and openness of Glade Lane Park. We made use of the existing surrounding greenery, incorporating biophilic principles into our design, alongside plenty of biodiverse planting to ensure the development is full of colour light and breathes more life into the area.

With nature at the fore, much of the design of both apartment buildings incorporates mature trees and greenery for a distinct and recognisable look and feel. Our grid trellis design frames the facade, with the green colour lightening as it grows vertically, blending with the surrounding landscape.

Every home will benefit from access to private balconies, as well as communal gardens at podium level and vibrant roof terraces on the top floor.

Making use of the existing site, and taking advantage of the differentiating heights of the buildings, will create animation to the skyline profile, highlighting that each block has its own identity and purpose.
