Atherton Place & House

London

(UK)

“Redefining London’s living standards, we’ve crafted sixteen bespoke apartments at Atherton House and Place, each designed as a testament to quality housing design and community. Built on a thoughtfully utilised backland site, this project blends meticulous design with urban innovation.”

In the realm of urban development, we, The Studio, embraced the challenge presented by a local property developer to breathe life into Atherton Place. Building upon the success of phase one at Atherton House, we ventured into the neighbouring site, Atherton Place. Here, the vision was not merely to construct a dwelling but to craft a symphony of interlocking towers, each a modern standalone feature. The original planning, a modest four units, transformed into a visionary ensemble of 8 units in Atherton House and an additional 8 units in Atherton Place, a testament to our strategic design approach.

A deep dive into the evolving landscape of Atherton Mews and its architectural surroundings guided our strategy. The interplay of the structure with the front boundary, a nod to traditional mews-style houses, not only breaks up the mass but also stands as an architectural ode to the evolving cityscape. Landscaping, meticulously designed, softens the facade, seamlessly integrating these structures into the existing environment. Each aspect of the development, from architectural language to landscaping, embodies a commitment to security, well-being, and a harmonious coexistence with its surroundings.

MATERIAL DETAILING | Layered brick and metal detailing define a modern residential façade.
