Telford Homes and East Thames appointed Jestico + Whiles, following competitive interview, on the strength of a clear architectural vision for this unusual canal-side site. Four bold blocks of apartments alter the pattern of neighbouring developments by being arranged perpendicular to the waterside, opening up views through the site. A new mooring basin and public promenade are created at the heart of the scheme, lined by café and commercial spaces that animate the central open space.
There are 200 dwellings for sale, shared ownership and rent and all are given a consistent, high quality architectural treatment.
