The Building Design

The Edridge project has evolved over some time. Its design has gone through a careful process of briefing, through to scheme design and finally to detailed design and construction tender.

The genesis for the project was based around user experience. It was designed in order to create light filled apartments and dramatic communal spaces. It external appearance was driven a desire from the developer to create a sophisticated, mature and elegant building worthy of the great architectural legacy that London has to offer.

The resulting building combines the use of large open expanses of glazing that allow the greatest amount of light into every apartment and communal space. This is mixed with robust high quality facade materials such as limestone, Corten and blue/black engineering bricks.

The building form is based on two opposing geometries: that of the tower and that of the podium building. The tower is turned through 20°from the podium building. This is partly because planning laws stipulate it must be concealed from certain historic views of neighboring buildings. It is also in order to create a dynamic between the 2 forms. The tower is finished in blue/black engineer bricks with Corten inserts. The podium building is faced in white limestone with black power coated aluminium panels. Ths further adds to the contrasting forms of the tower and the podium.

The canopy structures are important as they frame the communal triple height space on the sixth floor. The also provide a place to relax, in the privacy of the building in the summer months.

The entrance portico provides a double colonnage, height entrance space and waiting area before entering the commercial part of the building (visible in the picture to the right at street level).

The Builing: The Terrace

The Building: The Balconies

The sixth floor gives access onto the private terrace areas of the building. These are for apartment owners and guest only.

The triple height colonnaded space contains a number of landscape features such as trees, bushes, omamental pools, cafe tables, benches and rattan sofas.

The spaces are overlooked by the executive duplex apartments. The terrace is accessed from the main tower.

Every apartment within the Edridge has a balcony. Each balcony contains a full height double glazed, tinted, low-E, sliding double or triple to door system. The balcony floors are finished in stone with a pebble boarders for soakaways. The balconies are surrounded by frame-less glass balustrades secured with concealed clamps on the main floor plates.

Choices of Specification

Shell and Core. The Sloane will provide only the most basic of fit outs. This will allow end users to customize the spaces at will. The apartments will come with all electrical fittings and fixtures. There will be no flooring coverings apart from the leveled screed. Apartment owners will have to liaise with the developer before construction is complete.

Standard fit out. Apartments will come with standard kitchens and bathrooms as well as floor finishes. The fit out will be to a high standard and very serviceable. This is the recommend level of specification if the property is to form a rental investment.

Luxury. Each apartment will custom designed by a UK architect with exceptionally high quality fixures and fittings throughout. This will be done in consultation with the apartment owner.

The Building: Design

The faced treatments were next considered within the final green design stage. Taking the desire to provide high quality naturally light units, an investigation commenced into the use of a major and minor fenestration module. The major module would be in the form of both corner bays and projected windows into the principle living spaces of the units with the minor ones placed in the bedrooms where lower levels of light are acceptable.

Development took place around splaying the southern reveals to allow greater and longer penetration of sunlight into the interior rooms. This allowed the windows to appear wider than they actually are and reduced the vertical emphasis by linking windows horizontally into visual groupings. This pattern was taken across all the elevations with different designs informed by the various orientations.

The living rooms which are not located on corners in the block are projected to the front alleviations twisted to the south. This gives a better orientation while also turning them from directly facing the building on the opposite side of the road.

The corner windows follow a subtle hierarchy beining sized in accordance with the unit and room sizes. The largest units has already been placed to the prominent southeast corner with gave to it the larger corner bays. With this preeminence a special window splay was designed to adjoin this. The vertical splayed southern windows were given an angled splay that has an overall effect of a zigzag motif running up the front facade.

The building has two distinct uses and forms, the commercial podium and the residential tower and block. The desire remained to reflect this in the choice of materials. Striking, light weight materials with efficient assembly systems were sought and a glass reinforced concrete (grc) panel and a zinc pre-coloured panel rain screen cladding system were selected. The grc was more suited to the commercial lower floors which have greater resistance to impact damage and the surface textures and selection of films provide robust resistance to graffiti. At the upper levels the light zinc system is more suited which has a greater more subtle variety of colours and grains. The preference is to employ a single base colour for the main elevation while using 2 or 3 highlight colours to emphasis the window splays and the small panels. Depending upon the orientation of the elevations and the reflectance of the colours, patterns will be created that alter across the diurnal cycles of sunlight, with redder colours on the east and west elevations and bluer ones to the south.
