Wandsworth Borough Council were successful in securing funding from the Single Regeneration Budget for the regeneration of Wandsworth Town Centre, the focal point of which is a mixed residential and commercial 1960's development, which was in urgent need of regeneration. The centrepiece of this initiative comprised expenditure in excess of £22m on the existing housing, phased over 5 years within a strictly scrutinised Strategic Masterplan approved by Central Government. Pellings were appointed as Architects on Phases 1, 2 and 3 to undertake the Regeneration of the four residential tower blocks, and new build infill.
A coherent design approach to all phases was fundamental in achieving a successful scheme. The residential blocks are not seen as individual obelisks, but elements of a single development which dominates the central Wandsworth townscape.
However, the buildings are experienced individually by both residents and community members at street level and by the introduction of new low rise extensions at the base of the towers, providing a mix of residential and community use, a new vibrant street-scape was created, with more traditional relationship in terms of scale between homes and street.
