Architecture

The west façade includes an extension that aligns with the existing datum heights along Wellesley Road and functions as a wind mitigation feature. This extension also houses a series of balconies at two-storey intervals, offering future residents a variety of living options. In contrast, the smaller tower is white, drawing inspiration from Croydon’s modernist architecture. It features fluted horizontal bands, a simpler crown, and a straightforward fenestration pattern.

Despite their differences, the towers share subtle architectural elements such as cruciform cladding panels, matching window frame colours, and an oversized two-storey base. Most importantly, they utilize the same residential floor plan, enabling us to create an efficient and aspirational build-to-rent scheme that revitalises the currently derelict site.
