C, in St. John’s Wood, London has been designed as an architectural pioneer for London’s residential landscape, with Simon Bowden Architecture being specially chosen to partner with award-winners Regal London to bring a shared vision of innovative, residential architecture to life. The project is a distinguished architectural landmark that both enhances its surroundings whilst also demonstrating the ethos and design for which Regal London is renowned. The Compton occupies an unrivalled location in the sought-after district of St John’s Wood, which is just a three-minute walk from two of London’s most renowned attractions – Lord’s Cricket Ground and Regent’s Park. Every apartment benefits from a balcony and – for those on the upper floors –
uninterrupted views onto Lord’s Cricket Ground, Regent’s Park and the city beyond. One of the first cast aluminium clad buildings of its scale in Europe, The Compton is a truly bespoke addition to the London skyline, with a characterful curved facade. With its unprecedented use of aluminium and notable leaf detailing, The Compton is a feat of engineering and design that artfully juxtaposes progressive design. The team at Simon Bowden Architecture undertook a feasibility study of what would be possible to build on the site before exploring architectural options. It was at that point that the idea for using recycled cast-aluminium was born. This gave existing materials a new lease of life and led to the creation of a facade that spearheads innovation and elegance.
