The proposed building scale, form and elevations have been carefully considered in relation to the setting of the Kensington Gardens and surrounding context. An extensive analysis of the frontage around the entire perimeter of the Royal Parks has informed the design and massing of the scheme. The scale of the proposed building is commensurate to the scale of other important buildings around the Park.

 

The building will provide an active frontage to the street, with high quality retail/restaurant uses and an entrance to publicly accessible spa/recreation facility. On the upper levels, the development will provide 88 residential units, in a range of one, two, three, four and five bedroom dwellings. The apartments will be designed to a high standard to attract permanent residents that will contribute to the local community.

 

The construction will use the UB‘s Prefabrication System which is an innovative and patented construction technology that enables a project to be delivered in a significantly faster, more economical and more sustainable manner. Considering that the construction site is in the heart of London, this prefabrication system can largely reduce the disruption to neighbors and traffic.
