Located on the opposite side of the park from the famous Battersea
Power Station, on Prince of Wales Drive, West Eleven and Jo Cowen
Associates have worked hard to create a development worthy of
landmark status. Focusing on providing an uninterrupted view of the
200-acre park, the architects have ensured that all units face the park,
with the lower levels containing commercial space of 1,500 sqm.
Every unit is designed to bring in light and cleverly use space to bring
the outside into the home. The apartments also have communal
access to an intricately devised roof garden, located on the 13th
floor that showcases the amazing view of the park. The roof garden
was designed by Chelsea Flower Show winner, Randle Siddeley.
The View is not only a skyline changer, but a new architectural
landmark aimed to restore the sense of place and community. Built
for a more sustainable future with an eye to longevity and efficiency,
the stylish exterior façade fabric and glass vertical fins are framed
by an external double storey pre-cast concrete structure, actively
performing to reduce solar gain to the façade. Bronze anodized
aluminium panelling complement the fins, offering contrast and
definition to this well-placed scheme.
Brise Soleil solar shading has been designed into the façade to
reduce solar gains and overheating, whilst adding an elegant vail
to protect views and prevent overlooking. The facades utilise high
performance glass fin system that reduce G-Values across the glazed
façade areas.
Green roofs slow the discharge of rainwater from the roof into the
drainage system and a large attenuation tank under the landscaping
ensures flooding doesn’t occur as a result of the development. Lush
landscaping combined with quiet seating areas aim to create an
oasis of calm in the city and an atmosphere of retreat for residents.
Soft planting in tall grasses and wild flowers will provide eco-friendly
wildlife attractions and buffer hard elements to soften noise from
Battersea Park Road.
EVERY UNIT IS DESIGNED TO BRING IN LIGHT AND
CLEVERLY USE SPACE TO BRING THE OUTSIDE INTO
THE HOME.
