SPACE


The retained trees allow for wider routes, giving a sense of space to the development


Each of the buildings has a unique look, thanks to applying a limited palette of brick varieties in different ways


External balconies facing onto busy road are rarely used. “The balcony as a bay is a more protected space and works as a more appropriate language for the front facade and streetscape,” says Maccreanor. Running up the side from the end of the townhouses and part of the way along Heygate Street are two mansion blocks built in another red brick blend (H10B and C). The lower of the two is three-storeys high, while the other sits at eight-storeys. These blocks are of different tenures –

H10B is all affordable while H10C is almost entirely private – as well as two houses that sit on the top levels of the eight- storey block. A roof terrace has vegetable grow beds that can be rented by South Gardens residents.


The last of the eight buildings (H06E and F) is another eight storey mansion block, stretching along Heygate Street until it meets the 16-storey tower. Similarly, this features a range of apartment types, and a green roof. Rain gardens have also been designed into the development at various points. Both these mansion blocks feature balconies overlooking the rear courtyard rather than inset balconies. “Exterior balconies work much better with private courtyards,” Maccreanor says. For these balconies Maccreanor Lavington designed bespoke laser cut balustrades that give protection and enclosure while allowing a degree of transparency.
