Feasibility Studies & Housing Projects

Weston Williamson + Partners

We are a team of 150 professionals in the UK, Australia and Canada, of 15 nationalities, working flexibly and collaboratively with clients and the wider industry.

Our diverse international team members bring their own unique backgrounds and perspectives to projects and to the people that we work with. We are natural collaborators, keen to talk, to listen and to understand. It is by working closely with everyone involved â&#x20AC;&#x201C; clients, stakeholders, colleagues and end users - that we deliver successful projects.

We are a design-led practice, full of people who relish a challenge and with a strong record of delivery. Our work is all about the people who use it; how they will inhabit and experience the buildings, places and artefacts that we design. We take a whole life approach, considering how our designs will adapt, retain their relevance and continue to be enjoyed for years to come.

We specialise in creating solutions for complex projects, large or small, international and local. We get to the essence of what people need from buildings and spaces, listening, challenging and responding to clients and stakeholders with elegant, bold solutions. We set out a clear and engaging vision that helps people get involved with the design and the process.

Our ambition is simple but expansive, shaping cities for the future, involving transport, master planning, public space, environment and living. People are at the heart of everything we do. We want to design buildings and places that are a pleasure to use and create civilised beautiful environments that enrich lives.

Feasibility Studies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Adding value

We enjoy developing creative design solutions that maximise value for our clients. Our feasibility studies efficiently demonstrate the capacity of sites through high quality development proposals.

Our starting point for all of our projects is always understanding the existing context - in relation to physical qualities, the local community, planning context and development values. This thorough understanding enables us to develop robust layout and massing proposals that are appropriate to the local context, that will meet the requirements of people who will be using the places, whilst minimising planning risk. Our commercial awareness in all sectors of the built environment ensures that our proposals respond appropriately to ever-changing pressures on the industry, ensuring that maximum value is realised.

Our Method We begin our process with a site analysis, identifying constraints to overcome, and opportunities to capitalise on. We use hand sketches to efficiently explore site layout options, ensuring that design decisions are driven by our understanding of the surrounding context, as well as practical considerations such as access and servicing. We develop preferred options in Revit, generating highly efficient typical floor plan layouts in order to maximise value. Area outputs from our Revit models give our clients assurance in gross and internal development areas.

Presented over the following pages are a selection of recent capacity studies where we have successfully generated a vision for high quality development, with an assurance of quantum and value for our clients.

PODIUM LEVEL PLAN 300 UNITS

Street

Ashford, Spelthorne | 11

Our proposal for this site close to Ashford Station proposed 300 high quality residential units above a site-wide podium which accommodated mid-size industrial units, a supermarket and associated parking and delivery areas. The site arrangement took advantage of adjacent street level changes to ensure that the industrial uses did not impact the quality of the residential units. The orientation of the homes maximise views towards the adjacent park. A new communal garden square is proposed at the heart of the masterplan, which has the potential to link directly to the train station. This study demonstrated to our client how the range of uses within this development could be successfully achieved, whilst also maximising the quantum of high quality, mixed-tenure homes.

The Limmo Peninsula is a significant development site near Canning Town, opposite London City Island. We supported our clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bid for the site, generating residential-led development options for the site. Our proposals delivered a high quality residential neighbourhood, which maximised views towards the water. Massing ensured that views were possible for sites set back from the waters edge, whilst also creating high quality amenity space within the masterplan. Proposals overcame a number of challenging site constraints, including access requirements to the Crossrail shaft at the south of the site, limited access points, and a row of electricity pylons along the eastern edge of the site.

Aerial CGI

Our proposal for Barking Town Centre looked to reinvigorate and transform the area around Barking Station, delivering c. 2,200 new homes together with new commercial and social infrastructure all connected by over 2 hectares of new clean, green, accessible open spaces. A new high street serves as an urban cultural magnet, linking the existing civic centre and town squares to more isolated communities in the north. The scheme is characterised by a phased approach, with each plot bringing forward between 100 and 400 residential units within vibrant mixed use developments and landscaping. We considered the social infrastructure that is necessary to ensure that the potential economic benefits reach those most in need, so that no-one is left behind. Such intensification can only be successful if created through excellent place-making and through improved connectivity and surrounding environments. A new green spine, parallel to the high street, will connect public spaces and provide an improved retail offer. The new street layout is a loose grid that articulates more humanscale urban quarters complemented by green courtyard spaces, echoing the layout of exemplary town centres in London.

St George’s House occupies a key site in Wimbledon Town Centre. With the planned arrival of Crossrail 2, Wimbledon will benefit from greater connectivity, and a resultant increase in land values. Our proposals for St George’s House explored ways that commercial floor area could be increased on the site, in order to meet the current demand for Grade A office space within Wimbledon Town Centre. Key to our proposals was to offer flexibility to the client, providing options that could adapt with market conditions. WW+P developed a number of incremental approaches that would increase the value of the site – from minimal to maximum intervention. The aim of all of these options was to increase the value of the site by increasing the area of lettable office space, and also improve the quality of the internal space and external appearance. All of these options were considered in the context of the wider Wimbledon masterplan, and also with consideration of how careful phasing could minimise the impact on the current usable office space.

On behalf of Network Homes, we carried out feasibility studies for two challenging sites in Harrow - one a disused community centre in a residential suburban area, and the other a commercial site close to a busy railway. We generated these studies using efficient layout options to maximise the development potential of these sites whilst ensuring compliance with planning policy, and respecting neighbouring properties.

Our proposal for this significant site next to Luton Station generated a high quality residential development that offered benefits to the wider town centre, whilst meeting the aspirations of the town centre masterplan. The proposals frame a new public square located along the High Street and improve permeability through the site with a new tree-lined street. Proposals also sensitively respond to the adjacent High Street, which sits within a conservation area, and has a number of locally listed buildings along its length. We made use of the level change across the site to achieve greater height and density to the east of the site, which is at a much lower level than the High Street, and benefits from greater distance from the conservation area.

INITIAL SITE CONFIGURATION STUDIES NORTH SHEEN FEASIBILITY STUDY

Our residential masterplan for this constrained site responded to the surrounding finer suburban residential grain, while also addressing the constrained boundaries, and accommodated commercial uses and an existing bus station. We explored a minimum and maximum development quantum for our client, retaining the key masterplan principles in both options. A range of residential typologies were proposed to respond to the varying context around the site. Perimeter buildings along the main road bounding the site mirrored adjacent town-houses, while adjacent to the railway the proposed massing rose above the railway to minimise noise disruption to residential properties. Within the site, the mix of residential typologies created a range of character areas, and a linear green park acted as a central focus to this new neighbourhood. The study demonstrated to our client how a viable and contextual development could be achieved on this highly constrained site.

This design competition for Southwark Council demonstrated the development potential for a challenging site next to an elevated railway, currently occupied by a number of garages and a disused tenants hall. Our proposal responded to the surrounding context respecting neighbouring homes, and avoided single aspect towards the railway. The gable end of the building created interest on this prominent corner, and ground floor uses activated the surrounding public realm.

C/E/L/U - SHAPED TYPOLOGY

URBAN TYPOLOGIES COMPARISON

This research study explored mid-rise, high-density residential typologies for urban and suburban sites. Proposals demonstrated how high quality, residential-led development can be achieved without the need to build tall, which is often not possible on tightly constrained sites. Typologies include apartment blocks in varying configurations, town-houses and mews houses. Designs allow for flexible ground floor uses including commercial, retail, car parking and light industrial. The study demonstrates options for how typologies can be configured, and how they can be applied to a range of types of sites, for example corner sites, mid-street development or stand-alone sites. Proposed typologies are also assessed in relation to optimum orientation, density and amount of open space.

The success of our feasibility studies is underpinned by our extensive experience of delivering projects. We constantly apply lessons learnt from our projects that are at more detailed design stages into our feasibility work, generating greater certainty on layout configurations, unit numbers and areas generated in our earlier stage work.

We have selected a number of our residential projects to present on the following pages which demonstrate how our early feasibility studies progress into high quality and viable projects.

Our track record in residential design quality is underpinned by our thorough understanding of the public realm and how the infrastructure of our cities works. We are able to analyse, develop and resolve schemes, juggling competing parameters and collaborating with multiple stakeholders, to successfully deliver exceptional housing across all tenures.

We believe that new residential projects should create a sense of place on a human scale; exploring opportunities for the application of craft in the making of buildings that are tailored to their context and the people that will live in them. Our growing residential team, has a wealth of experience and an ability to harness modern methods of construction to create elegant and innovative design solutions, which add value to our clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vision. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re proud of our close working relationships and high volume of repeat business.

Site massing concepts

Ground floor plan (landscape proposal by Exterior Architecture)

At Elm Nursery, our proposal replaces a disused car park to provide 21 new affordable homes. The urban block forms a strong frontage along the busy London Road, and responds to the surrounding context and character through a regular facade treatment, with decorative roof form. We generated an efficient layout which maximised the use of the site, with the lower floors extending further to the rear of the site, and upper floors stepping in to avoid overshadowing neighbouring homes. A â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fabric-firstâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; approach will ensure that space heating demands are minimised, and individual air-source heat pump cylinders in each apartment, will provide hot water, avoiding the need for gas.

Development at Canonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Place is arranged around an existing tree, to create a new courtyard, inspired by the nearby walled garden of Canonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Place House. The architecture of the proposed apartment block and mews houses is inspired by the Georgian proportions of nearby listed buildings. The scheme was designed to sit sensitively within the surrounding conservation area. The development will be built using timber-frame construction, reducing embodied carbon, ground works and enabling offsite construction.

Our residential development at Rutley Close completes a broken urban block, creating positive and active street frontages with high quality residential development. The ‘L’ shaped block encloses a new landscaped courtyard, for use by both new and existing residents – a significant improvement on the completely hard landscape of the site prior development. The building massing also frames two existing trees on the outer corner of the site, creating a positive corner feature. New homes are a mix of apartments and duplexes, all benefitting from dual aspect and generous internal spaces. The massing steps up at the south-eastern corner of the site, maximising development away from neighbouring homes, and creating a feature at this corner junction.

Ground floor plan (landscape proposal by Exterior Architecture)

For this estate regeneration scheme, we have developed 3 sites to provide 81 new homes, as well as wider estate improvements including enhanced access arrangements and higher quality public realm. Proposals respond sensitively to the conservation area context, and celebrate the historic gardens at the heart of the estate, which are much valued by residents. The arrangement of the two buildings at the centre of the estate improve accessibility to the central gardens, and their orientation enhances passive surveillance of this space. The third site is located at the main entrance to the estate, and has been designed as a strong marker to this arrival point. We worked closely with Southwark throughout the project to successfully engage with the residents of the estate and to ensure that new homes accommodated the requirements of the residents who were being re-housed in within the new development.

Spa Road demonstrates how to successfully knit a new mixed tenure development into an existing regeneration plan. By deliberately phasing construction, our client was able to benefit from a projected uplift in property values in this part of South London. Our high quality design proposal for this prominent plot within the wider Bermondsey Spa regeneration masterplan addressed several site constraints including the proximity of adjacent estate buildings, protected mature trees on Spa Road and resolved daylight, sunlight and privacy challenges with nearby properties. We were able to maximise unit numbers and value by adopting a single core approach.
