news INTERNATIONAL DESIGN COMPETITION
Stanton Williams shortlisted for high profile Swiss laboratory
Stanton Williams, the London-based multi-award winning architectural design practice, is the only UK practice to be shortlisted in an international design competition to create a new physics building for ETH Zurich, one of the leading European universities for technology and the natural sciences. The competition calls for design proposals for a new
15,000m² laboratory and research building for the University’s Hönggerberg campus located just outside Zurich. The campus is being developed as a masterplan and the new building will be located on the north west of the site. Providing specialist facilities for work at the forefront of
physics research, the building will include laboratories, teaching spaces and offices. In addition, the competition requested proposals for a potential second building adjacent to the physics building, which could potentially be part of a phased construction programme. Stanton Williams is working with Swiss architecture practice Stähelin Architekten and its team includes S+B Baumanagement AG Olten, ZPF Ingenieure AG
and Jobst Willers Engineering AG. Among the other shortlisted teams are architecture practices: mlzd Architekten, Harry Gugger Studio Ltd, Boltshauser Architekten AG, EM2N. The winning scheme will be announced in June 2016.
bptw secures approval for final phases of Rectory Park regeneration
bptw partnership has secured planning approval for the latest stages of the Rectory Park Estate regeneration in Northolt, Ealing. Phases 3 and 4, which form part of the large scale regeneration by Network Housing, will see the delivery of 289 new homes and a community hub. bptw partnership, the architecture practice behind the
competition winning masterplan and ongoing delivery, have created a modern mixed-tenure scheme with a direct design focus on landscaping and open-spaces to compliment the estate’s proximity to the neighbouring Northolt & Greenford Countryside Park. Chris Bath, Associate at bptw, commented: “Our design
has been centred around creating a vibrant residential neighbourhood with high quality homes and attractive community facilities at the heart of the regeneration. Our level of focus on the detail of the design coupled with an inclusive approach to community consultation has been particularly welcomed by residents. The provision of well-designed, distinguishable building entrances, elements such as saw tooth house roofs, balcony cladding panels, and variety in brickwork colours and textures have helped to create a unique local character. We have worked closely with Landscape Architects Tyrens to vastly improve accessibility throughout the estate and place a strong focus on the design
of the public realm which has been crucial to the place-making strategy. We have been involved in the project from the outset, working closely with the existing residents, so are delighted that Phases 3&4 have been approved with ongoing support from Ealing Council.” The 449 home redevelopment has so far seen 160 homes
completed, with feedback from residents heavily informing the latest phases of the scheme. The new mixed tenure homes will be delivered in a combination of 1-4 bedroom properties designed to achieve Code for Sustainable Homes level 4. Now being marketed as Mandeville Place, construction on Phases 3 and 4 is expected to commence early in 2016.
