Abbey Road

The brief for this prestigious residential development was to provide an innovative solution for mansion block accommodation and to exploit technology to create a limited number of distinctive apartments. The site is adjacent to the famous Abbey Road recording studios in Maida Vale, set amongst conservation residential blocks and individual houses.

The scheme consists of 16 apartments, each with their own winter courtyard, hot springs and direct access to the building foyer. Each apartment has been designed with a fully glazed curved façade incorporating up-and-over glazed screens. The practice achieved planning consent for the scheme and subsequently developed a simpler scheme when the site was sold to a contractor.
