The north London scheme, containing 183 homes, is designed to act as the \u2018front door\u2019 to Related Argent\u2019s Heart of Hale masterplan. This large-scale regeneration of a post-industrial transport hub is designed to transform it into a walkable neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

This scheme, near the Walthamstow Wetlands and Lea Valley waterways, offers a new tree-filled civic square at the \u2018prow\u2019 of the site, as well as a new pedestrian passage that leads into a central courtyard.<\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The scheme\u2019s stepped massing creates a secluded podium garden and co-working space at third-floor level and a south-facing communal roof garden at seventh-floor level. The mid-rise elements are intended to soften the transition between the towers and public realm. In contrast to its orange terracotta brick exterior, One Ashley Road\u2019s internal elevations feature faceted metal cassette panels which reflect light into the block interior. Their hexagonal forms and orange colour are inspired by the Berol pencils once made on the site. The gardens and hexagonal terrace weave green space throughout the project, creating communal areas for residents.<\/p>\n

A significant underground constraint was the presence of two Victoria Line tunnels running through the plot. The two towers and their respective piling were strategically located to either side of these, with the design navigating the loading, acoustic, and vibration issues arising from this London Underground infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Architect\u2019s view<\/h3>\n

One Ashley Road achieves BREEAM Very Good as the development addresses both the Tottenham Green Grid (Policy AAP9; TAAP) and Haringey Council\u2019s open spaces strategy. The development\u2019s operational carbon savings exceed the Greater London Authority\u2019s targets by an impressive 48 per cent. This high level of environmental performance is achieved through the building\u2019s connection to a District Energy Network (DEN), which provides the base heat load for the entire development and reduces reliance on traditional heating sources. Furthermore, the project is equipped with solar photovoltaic panels, smart metering, and energy management software, enabling efficient monitoring and optimisation of energy usage throughout the building\u2019s lifecycle.<\/p>\n

Embracing a \u2018be lean, clean and green\u2019 approach, the complex incorporates a range of passive design features and a \u2018fabric first\u2019 strategy to reduce its energy demand. Detailed design emphasising a highly insulated building envelope aims to achieve resource efficiency and lower operational costs.
