8 NEWS MIXED USE Kings Road pub given a mixed use future


A former pub on the Kings Road, Chelsea has been restored and extended by Paul Murphy Architects (PMA) to create a new “high quality” mixed-use development. PMA inherited an existing consent for the Hand and Flower site on the corner of Kings Road and Edith Grove, and planning permission was subsequently granted for the redevelopment of a neighbouring site to the rear. “This has allowed the neighbouring developments to collectively contribute to a successful piece of city repair,” said the architects.


PMA were appointed to improve the consented scheme and were tasked with designing a “better mix of units, more spacious living accommodation and additional amenity space.” The facade was retained, but the interior layout was completely changed; the completed development now houses five new apartments, with retail use at ground floor and basement level.


The form of the building is influenced by its immediate context: the design “celebrates the dialogue between old and new,” said the architects. While the existing


NEW APPOINTMENTS


CPMG recruits young talent to London and Nottingham studios


CPMG Architects has recently added to its nationwide workforce with the arrival of young talent at its studios in Nottingham and London. Cameron Kiddle joins as an architectural technologist at CPMG’s head office in Nottingham, as the practice relocates to St Peter’s Gate in the city centre. He recently graduated from Nottingham Trent University with a degree in architectural technology. He aims to advance both his professional and academic ambitions simultaneously in order to become fully qualified and “brimming with professional and practical experience,” said the firm.


CPMG has also hired Chloe Majomi as an architectural technologist in its London office. Majomi was formerly at construction firm J Coffey working as a BIM technician, and brings “far-reaching experience having also worked at architecture firms in Nigeria and Japan,” said CPMG.


CPMG said it is driven by its “core


values” of “people, purpose and place,” and places health and wellbeing “at the heart of all of its work – including the work designing its own new Nottingham office.” Recent award wins include British Sugar’s headquarters in Peterborough, and the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Building in Nottingham Science Park.

building has been painstakingly restored, the new extension is “driven by the specific characteristics of the site to create high quality residential accommodation.” The architects commented on how the overall form responds to the streetscape: “The site geometry created by the existing street pattern informs a tapered building form on plan, with a new brick facade remaking the street edge.” The design also responds to the planning requirement to minimise the impact of the extension on


neighbouring properties, resulting in a “faceted” rear facade which in turn, creates stepped roof terraces.


An enclosed glazed link connects the old and new parts, and houses a new timber clad stair.


The former gas works site to the south is currently being redeveloped by St William/the Berkeley Group and the National Grid. Due to launch from 2022, the renamed Kings Road Park will create around 1,800 new homes.
