The Harris Academy, a local co-educational secondary school
and sixth form with academy status, situated next door, will also
benefit from a new Sports England standard ‘4-Court’ Sports Hall
facility worth £2.5m. This will be shared with the wider community,
encouraging good sporting habits and healthy lifestyles. An
additional £350,000 financial contribution to the academy will
provide increased teaching space, general improvements and
maintenance. Trees planted at the academy fronting on to Battersea
Park Road will further enhance the environment. This is as part of
West Eleven giving back to the local community and priding itself as
being a listening developer.
The public will also benefit from over 50 metres of beautifully
landscaped street frontage along this busy pedestrian route,
creating a green space for all the community to enjoy, with space
to walk, sit and play. They will also enjoy an enhanced pedestrian
environment through the widening of pavements, with increased
natural surveillance promoting enhanced safety and security in the
area.
Chris Wilkinson, Lead Architect and Co-owner of Jo Cowen
Architects comments, “As a practice, we always aspire to enhance
and promote each site for its own merit, and The View does exactly
that, through its relationship to the public realm, its carefully
proportioned facades and its quality of interior space. Every
apartment is designed to provide spectacular dual aspect views,
promoting wellness in the home through high quality natural light
and outlook. We are very much looking forward to seeing the
scheme completed and experiencing the spectacular views that the
scheme will provide.”
Will Herrmann, CEO and Founder of West Eleven adds, “Yet again
myself and Jo Cowen Architects have pushed our creativity and
bravery to its limits. We’ve gone tall, bigger, better and more
community led. This is not only a landmark for the Battersea Park
skyline, but a landmark in what West Eleven aims to achieve moving
forwards.”
THIS IS NOT ONLY A LANDMARK FOR
THE BATTERSEA PARK SKYLINE, BUT A
LANDMARK IN WHAT WEST ELEVEN AIMS
TO ACHIEVE MOVING FORWARDS
