Gough House

Jefferson Sheard has been appointed to deliver a scheme of 40 residential apartments, including ground and basement retail space, at a prominent location in Kingston, London.

Replacing an existing 2-storey building and council owned car park, the site is part of the ‘Eden Quarter Development Brief’ which seeks to meet the demand for new homes within the core urban area, alongside creating a high-quality public realm and other opportunities.

Design

The building mass provides a transition in scale between the neighbouring buildings; high-quality materials are proposed to reflect that of the existing and fluctuating context. A retail unit at street level provides an active frontage, in line with the Eden Quarter Development Brief. The podium allows residents with access to a shared amenity area at the rear of the building. A mixture of 1, 2 and 3 bed apartments, each with a large private balcony, is proposed in compliance with the London Plan and Lifetime Homes requirements.

“The Eden Quarter should help to deliver a significant number of new homes for Kingston as required in the London Plan, helping to keep the town centre active and busy during the day and evenings.”
