Located close to the widely publicised Hornsey Road development, the £19 million scheme for Mortar Development Group will contribute towards the ‘gateway’ development into the City of London.

the scheme comprises retail space at ground floor level, office space situated over the first, second and third floors, and ��0 student bedrooms in the form of studios, �, 4, and �-bed cluster flats together with outdoor amenity space.

the scheme has been designed both to retain a locally listed building façade dating back to 1874, and to enhance the ecological potential of the site, with the incorporation of a green roof at fifth floor level boasting views across london, a green wall and a sympathetically landscaped central courtyard area.

following a design review by the Gla, the scheme is now complete and incorporates a BreeaM multi residential and office rating of ‘excellent’.

the scheme received positive feedback and full approval from the Mayor of london

In August 2011 rioters in North London caused extensive damage to property. The Carpetright Warehouse - pictured left - was destroyed by fire and the Jobcentre building next door was damaged by an arson attack and was severely heat damaged by the effects of the Carpetright fire.

in the days following the fires, the Jobcentre was broken into by theives who stole copper pipework throughout, leaving significant water damage in their wake.

We were retained by clients to carry out inspections and to prepare reports to assist them in their discussions and negotiations with the insurance loss assessor. We subsequently prepared detailed specifications for the reinstatement of the interior, the replacement of damaged sections of the roof repairs and replacement of windows and the entrance canopies.

We also co-ordinated reports on fire damage to the structure, the weatherproofing of the exposed end wall and health and safety issues relating to control of access to the adjoining site.

We worked with the client team and contractor and the reinstatement works were completed in 1� weeks.

the facility was reopened by the employment Minister chris Grayling in april �01�.

A development of regional and national importance

the Bridge, dartford, Kent

The Bridge is an exemplary mixed-use development which forms part of the Thames Gateway and fulfils the government’s vision to “kick-start the process of turning Europe’s largest collection of brownfield sites into living, breathing communities where people are proud to belong”.

the �64 acre (100ha) site includes 1.89m sqft (176,000sqm) of commercial space and 1,�00 homes, in addition to leisure facilities, a shopping centre and primary school and an innovation centre for start up businesses.

our designs integrate the mixed-use elements and minimise dependency on the private car. fastrack, a pioneering bus system, links the Bridge with dartford, Gravesend and the Bluewater shopping and leisure complex. its buses run on a dedicated route that avoids local traffic and includes a new bridge over the M��.

Stephen George & partners’ vision has ensured this is a flagship project. the design of the buildings complement the prominent location of the site and have created a development of regional and national importance. our intelligent and holistic masterplan allows buildings to relate to each other and their surroundings. this approach, together with the implementation of a bold and distinctive landscape scheme, creates a strong identity and sense of place.

Mansell Street, Whitechapel

This project arose as a consequence of relocation from another site. We were retained by clients to carry out a feasibility study assessment of the capability of the Tugu Building to accept the intended use, and then to develop proposals for client approval and tender documents for procurement.

the proposals include the conversion of an existing covered parking area to office use and the insertion of a new shopfront to the new Jobcentre facility.

our work included the thorough assessment of the capabilities of the existing structure, fabric and services systems including evaluation of means of escape and access.

We assisted our clients in their negotiations with the building landlord and prepared drawings and specifications to secure landlord’s consent and requisite licences.

We liaised with the city’s planners and our client’s planning consultants and prepared drawings for planning application - including changes of use, external alterations, signage and roof plant.

a consistent approach…. to create a sense of identity for the business park

littlebrook, dartford, Kent

Littlebrook Business Park is situated adjacent to the existing oil fired power station on the South Bank of the River Thames next to the QEII Bridge and Dartford Tunnel. The site presents the opportunity to create a high quality distribution park offering flexible buildings for end users. The development framework plan responds to the existing landscape and ecological mitigation areas and commitment to the green grid strategy, providing links to the Thames Walkway.

in accordance with the outline planning approval, the total gross internal floor space permitted is 7�,089 square metres of B8 building class usage with works being split into two main phases. phase 1 includes �7,068 square metres of development and phase � equates to ��,0�1 square metres.

the primary generators for the layout of the site are:

• permitted development areas;

• considerable site constraints including extensive underground and above ground services;

• retention of Ge power Systems building;

• existing road network being retained in principle and enhanced as necessary in relevant locations;

• proposed structural landscape.

a consistent approach for individual buildings has been adopted to create a sense of identity for the business park. elevational treatment, specification of materials, proportion and detailing is from a common language and adopted across the development. attention will be paid to the Kent design Guide produced by the Kent design initiative with particular regard to:

• Sustainability/climate change.

• Movement.

• landscape.

• passive solar design.

• accessibility.

• Waste minimisation and recycling.

• energy efficiency.

• Site management and safety.

• Stakeholder participation.

the first building completed on site is a bespoke unit for grocery delivery service provider, ocado.

Wandsworth, relocation options

Many of our projects are outwardly quite straightforward, but this can often hide the very complex nature of the brief and the constraints on development. Working with our government clients we are often called upon to provide solutions to requirements for increased floor space or relocation due to lease terminations or similar circumstances.

We are able to provide high level or detailed appraisals of possible receptor sites and/or buildings and to develop proposals and designs, often within unusual or challenging buildings.

in this example we were asked to provide designs for fitting out a purpose-built self storage and retail unit to provide a new site for Wandsworth’s Jobcentreplus facility. following insuperable challenges with the planning approval process, we had to look at alternative sites, including an established development of business units - pictured left.

the proposals have required us to plan and adapt the existing facilities, investigating requirements for new accesses and incorporating new building services systems in a very restricted structural envelope.
