Queenshurst – Berkeley Homes, London, £65 million. The Queenshurst project in Kingston Upon Thames is an inspirational example for a high quality regeneration project that turns a contaminated brownfield site into a thriving residential community and successful extension of the local town centre. This new residential quarter kick-starts the regeneration of the North Kingston area and replaces three large scale, derelict gas holders. Designed and delivered for Berkeley Homes, Carey Jones Chapman Tolcher created a new urban perimeter block that provides 328 high quality apartments, connected into its surroundings through generously landscaped and strategically located public realm connections. The scheme is further knitted into its local context by providing community, educational and commercial uses at ground floor level. Queenshurst seeks to create an attractive, liveable place with a clear identity. There is a large garden square in the centre of the development and a new linear park running along the eastern part of the site. This creates a much needed and attractive pedestrian and cycle connection to bypass Richmond Road, enabling future connections into Kingston Station via the adjacent development site.

Great Portland Street – Arcadia Developments CJCT and clients Arcadia Developments have now been given planning permission to start work on Great Portland Street. The existing building of 14 – 16 Great Portland Street is a fine example of Edwardian Commercial Architecture from the East Marylebone Conservation Area. The existing property currently houses an A1 retail unit at ground floor with five levels of office accommodation above. Proposals include the re-provision of the lower ground and ground floor spaces to provide two new high quality retail units. The new retail units take advantage of the dual aspect nature of the site by improving the retail frontage to Great Portland Street, and proposing new active frontage to Margaret Court at the rear of the property, creating a new destination in the historic conservation area. The scheme also includes the bespoke fit out of existing office floor space, with the potential of the property realised by the inclusion of a new building extension onto Margaret Court side, providing terrace views over Market Place.
The Lighterman- Knight Dragon Developments, RIBA 1-6 This residential development designed by CJCT Studios is located within the Greenwich Peninsula and positioned on a dramatic site overlooking the Thames riverside. The scheme comprises of total of 223 new apartments in 3 buildings, including a 24 storey tower, arranged around a shared landscaped courtyard. These will include studio units and one, two and three bedroom units – 56% of which will be affordable. The tower has a tripartite composition defined by an elegant white textured frame that provides shadow and depth to the façade. A considered pattern of full height windows and metallic cladding that is held within the elegant frame provides a richness of texture and warm tones. Balconies and glazing to principal living spaces are positioned at the corners to maximise dual aspect views. This riverside plot sits within the overall Phase 2 development for the peninsula, with architects DSDHA, Pilbrow and Partners and Landscape Architects Turkington Martin working on the adjoining plots. The surrounding public realm, has been considered holistically with this team, in order to create a coherent neighbourhood at the heart of Peninsula Riverside, with its own distinct identity, sense of place and destination.
