Background and Site

London 446 Fulham Road Development is a design competition based on the site which comprises the existing listed building Sir Oswald Stoll Mansions used as services veterans, the charities administration facilities, NHS medical centre and various ancillary communal facilities for use by the charity. The site is 0.71 Hectares and includes a total of 137 residential units.

The flats and facilities are considered obsolete and not ‘fit for purpose’ with a key objective of the new scheme to deliver efficient new space as demonstrated within our proposal.

A further 20 Veterans apartments are located in Bush House, located on the sites access road, adjacent and to the west, outside of the site boundary.

Design Proposal

Our proposals seek to intensify the existing use of ‘previously developed land’ and under-used buildings to deliver high quality homes and supporting accommodation. An increased footprint is supported as a starting point by the council, who wish to resist the net loss of permanent residential accommodation as a result of new redevelopment.

Design Methodology

High quality design utilising suitable materials such as brick and stone to offer a natural transition with the Grade II listed Mansion building on Fulham Road.

‘Stepped’ building heights away from Fulham Road of suitable building height, with full consideration of the surrounding environment and townscape.

Suitable building relationships considered in the context of outlook, relationship with the surrounding urban grain and to offer appropriate ‘Sunlight and daylight’ reflecting initial due diligence.

Introduction of permeability with a large central garden to form a key feature of the site. The move away from linear building forms offers multiple views into the central amenity spaces, for the enjoyment of tenants and the local community.

Promote a high quality scheme that reflects its central and sustainable urban location which provides a depth of amenities and good transport infrastructure reflected by PTAL rating, 5/6a alongside its well recognised address.
