Vassall Road
89, Vassall Road, London, United Kingdom
YEAR
2008
SIZE
100,000 sqft - 300,000 sqft
Located on the corner of
Holland Grove and Vassall Road in Lambeth, South London the a hybrid
development has been commissioned by Future Living Space Ltd, a joint
venture from private developers Baylight Properties and Servite Housing
Association.
The 1490 sqm building is
a hybrid development comprising ten apartments for sale and a medial centre,
which occupies the entire ground floor.
It is a carefully crafted robust building offering light filled
residential spaces with elegant fittings, proving that economically conceived
housing for sale can be beautiful and well planned.
Throughout the building
high quality standardized items are specified, including Velfac and Velux
windows, izé manufactured door handles by Ferdinand Kramer, kitchens from
Leicht, Duravit bathroom fittings, Hudevad radiators, and Crosswater taps. Atkinson & Kirby Ltd supplied
solid 140mm wide American White Oak flooring. The common stairs feature bespoke Kengate terrazzo tiles
incorporating seashells, mirror polished stainless steel cupboard doors in the
entrance lobby.
The new 3 and 4-storey
development replaces a derelict pub, which originally served residents of the
surrounding housing estate. The building is designed to mitigate the disparity
between the 1960’s brick social housing which has been retrofitted with plastic
framed windows and pitched roofs and the more dignified arrangement of
eighteenth century suburban villas opposite.
In design the building presents
itself as a formal terrace within a railed garden, consisting of the doctors’
surgery as a base, a row of seven maisonettes and three single-storey flats
arranged in a tower configuration on the corner of the development. Windows and balconies at the first
floor are a response at a smaller scale to the villas opposite, and the red
brick facades have been lightly over-painted with black mineral paint to
simulate the aged quality of the brickwork in the locale.
The rear elevation is stepped back and the area of
ground between the scheme and Healy House is laid out as a planted communal
terrace. While the
doctors surgery has its own entrance on Vassall Road the apartments are
accessed through a private lobby on Holland Grove which leads up to an open air
walkway at first floor level, providing “street” access to the maisonettes and
creating space for private terraces and external storage space.
All of the apartments have 2
bedrooms and are scaled to appeal equally to small families, retired couples or
single people working from home. Reception spaces in the maisonettes and flats are south facing and
feature generous balconies facing
south over the garden and into the trees, giving connections to the wider
neighbourhood.
