Putney Wharf is on the south side of the River Thames adjacent to Putney High Street. The site was derelict with dilapidated warehouses from a disused brewery. The former brewery, a locally listed building was identified as appropriate for retention and refurbishment.
The scheme represented one of Wandsworth’s key projects in the regeneration of the waterfront and continuation of the riverside walkway.
Delivery Included:
• A mixed-use development that creates a new destination in Putney with apartments, offices, restaurants, bars and a fitness centre.
• Apartments arranged around a new public square fronting the riverside.
• Retention of the locally listed former brewery building as a new public house, with a contemporary glass extension fronting the new square to act as a focal point.
• New town houses as a continuation of an adjacent street.
• Provision of 210 dwellings (174 private, 36 affordable).
• A high-quality, car-free public realm that incorporates the riverside walkway, with underground parking provided for residents.
• Architectural reference to the former warehouse use and character of the area.
