ST Pauls

Project Description

IPE Developments and CMT Design and Construction have continued their relationship as they were involved in the construction of 12 private units in Bow, London. The site sits on a former public house, which has since been demolished. CMT are confirming the final layouts in order to provide the best design with alternative sustainable construction methods for their client.

The site is located on the corner of the southern side of mile end park and its boundaries are formed by the railway viaduct, st pauls way and the park irself is to make an unusual triangular site. The existing building form is defined almost entirely by the shape and nature of the site and its constraints. The scale of the proposed development seeks to provide a strong response to the site context and a focal point on st pauls way.

CMT intends to provide a modern, innovative, high quality residential development that makes the optimum use of the triangular site. The proposed scheme will provide a landmark building that will physically define its location and will successfully fit in with the existing and future buildings in the area.

The proposal is the Demolition of the existing buildings on site and the Erection of a 6 storey block and its use as 12 residential flats (7 x 1 bedroom and 5 x 2 bedroom units). CMT Is collaborating with their in-house design team in creating solutions to turn the buildings south and east side towards the park to provide deep glazed balconies to the southeast and northern elevations including red cedar timber boarding to the exterior balconies, white render panels and yellow London multi-stock brickwork enabling the building to have a palette of materials. The project is due for completion in December 2015.

Umberstone Street

Project Description

Situated on Umberstone Street in the heart of bustling East London, An existing 2-story post Second World War textile warehouse was demolished and redeveloped as luxurious residential property offering space and serenity in a thriving London neighbourhood

Close to Aldgate east station, this development has been designed to be flexible enough to offer a variety of apartments, varying in size. From 1 to 3-bedroom luxury apartments. This is a 5-story luxury building and consists of 8 residential apartments and 4 commercial spaces at ground floor and basement level. Supporting council preference to provide mixed-use development over single-use properties.

The main structure consists of a mix of reinforced concrete and light steel frame sitting on a raft and piling foundation. External envelope is Hanson Arden special reserve brickwork comprising of embossed features with dark grey brick combination to the exterior with black satin timber cladding.

Ensuring enough daylight for the penthouse wasn’t a problem, however a variety of techniques were provided to allow natural light and maintain privacy for the studio flats, which occupy the building’s first, second, third and fourth floors. The idea of having enough ventilation and sunlight in the densely populated multi-unit and multi-family housing area was of importance to the proposed design including, Juliet balconies for each resident. Each apartment was given a good-sized balcony that extends along the front of the main elevation of the building.

Rooms are sparsely decorated, with walls, ceilings and wooden doors painted white, while floors are covered in quality wood laminate flooring providing a contemporary and easy to maintain design.

Willow Court

Project Description

An exclusive, gated development of 18 high quality apartments and 15 car parking spaces located on the fringe of Kingston town centre. The project involved skilfully redeveloping and extending the existing building to a high standard. Creating 2 x 1 bed, 14 x 2 bed and 2 x 3 bed apartments. The site was completely re-landscaped, providing a positive benefit to the residents of lime and maple court.

The interior includes high quality finishes with a modern minimalist design. The strategy was to bring light into the space, cleverly utilising a restricted space by introducing large windows and cantilevered balconies facing the rear, side and front with etched glass screens creating fresh, spacious apartments. The day-lighting study has demonstrated that all the existing flats will continue to receive a good level of daylight.

The exterior is composed of a soft terracotta colour cladding with a combination of red and chalk coloured brickwork and rendering, giving a graceful appearance to the exterior. The top storey exterior is enveloped with grey cladding and has been set further back reducing any perceived bulk of the building and minimising the visual impact. Furthermore the elevations of the building have been recessed and cladded with different materials to articulate the appearance, and again reduce its perceived bulk to its surroundings.

Elsenham Homes

Project Description

Elsenham is a long-established village with a strong community spirit and great links to local towns and further afield.

Elsenham station (only moments from the development) offers regular direct services to both London Liverpool Street (55 minutes) and Cambridge (29 minutes), making the village ideal for commuters.In addition, the village is close to Junction 8 of the M11 motorway and only three miles from Stansted Airport, making international travel easy. Despite its excellent transport links, the village has retained its rural charm and the surrounding countryside offers endless possibilities for all sorts of leisure pursuits.

Cambridge Close provides high quality contemporary homes, designed with modern architecture in mind. Successfully integrating into the local streetscape and the village of Elsenham as a whole.

All the properties benefit from good light levels due to the space separation between the buildings and the orientation and sizing of glazing. The living/dining spaces are located to the rear of the properties throughout the development, providing the best views for residents, with bedrooms also located to maximise natural light. Innovative use of material means that each home benefits from excellent insulation, noise reduction, and low energy requirements. Every property has a private garden and dedicated off street parking, while the design of the scheme aims to create a safe environment and a unique sense of community.

Aesthetically, a small pallet of materials has been adopted across the development to achieve a consistency of design and a distinct identity.

The Legacy

Situated in the heart of historic Clapham and a stone throw away from Clapham Common. Myers Court comprises of 15 high-end units with a spacious rear garden. Combining contemporary living and iconic heritage into one, two and three bedroom apartments.

In an area famed for Edwardian and Victorian design, one builder stood a top as the prime inspiration for Myers Court. Originally from Hull, George E. Myers’ meteoric rise as Master Builder led him to become right-hand man for famed early-1800’s architect Augustus Pugin. As one of the eras most respected and prolific builders, he was commissioned for work by both Prince Albert and the Rothschild family, building Mentmore Towers pictured above between 1852 and 1854 – his opus being his award-winning Gothic Revivalist work at The Great Exhibition of 1851.

He later lived and finished his career in Clapham, his pioneering buildership constructing many homes on the same road, with his exacting standards of luxury and elegance reflected in Myers Place.

The luxurious craftsmanship of Myers Court takes inspiration from George Myers. Amongst many prestigious achievements in London and England, master builder Myers built the grand villas on Elms Road – including the original Victorian villa which was located on the Myers Court site.
