Tallest Proposal Yet For Stratford

Tallest Proposal Yet For Stratford

This is the first image of what is the tallest proposal yet for Stratford in the London Borough of Newham.

Designed by Stock Woolstencroft Architects, the scheme is being developed by Seapoint Development Ltd. It consists of 7 new buildings ranging between 10 and 41 floors, the tallest of which are a slender tower and an adjacent 14 level block.

Inside the largely residential scheme will be 736 new apartments, a 144 bedroom hotel, 3,161 square metres of ground level shop and office accommodation, a nursery and a surgery. There are also generous amounts of public landscaping, particularly when compared to similar developments in London.

The tower itself is heavily influenced by the Ontario Tower in shape, substantially glazed, oval shaped with a lip-stick like top. Moving away from this however, it features a spine of glass winter gardens that will be illuminated at night. It will be 133.1 metres tall.

The tower is planned on the basis of components repeating themselves every three levels or so with the inset balconies alternating with the sky gardens every three levels combining into gauges of six floors visually marking the sections of the tower whilst providing what the architect describes as a "zipper type effect".

The open space includes renovation of the area banking on to the canal including a waterside promenade and the removal of the current river-wall creating a more natural water edge. Most apartments will have their own balconies and there will be an enclosed play-space for children that the crèche leads into.

The triangular site occupies a strategic position as one of the gateway areas to the 2012 Olympic Campus, connecting this with Stratford High Street and a through route from Warton Road making the planned public square one of the major pedestrian keys to the area.

Currently occupied by low density industrial use, built on a World War 2 bomb site, the scheme is the very definition of brown-field development.

The surrounding area is already proving something of a boomtown with our database showing there are three residential towers under construction in the immediate area, the Stratford Eye, Burford Wharf and Westgate, and another six either officially proposed or approved without including Stratford City.

There are no start dates yet for the project but it'll have to be done for 2012 at the latest, a date tha's shaping up as key in London skyscraper developments, unless people want eggs on their faces.
