“THE BRIGHT BEACON AT THE END OF A DARK STREET”
Location: Battersea, London, England.
Project started in: 2018
Architect: Zac Chapman and Etienne Wijnen
We won the commission to design the new gatehouse for Prices Court having after being shortlisted and impressing the judges with at interview stage. The project brief is to create a new Gate House for an existing community of 123 flats which abuts the river Thames in Battersea. The new building will provide function for a Porter, Reception and Deliveries as well as Pedestrian and Vehicle entrances. The design in progress makes use of a sympathetic material palatte, whilst referencing the site’s candle making history through a meticulous lighting concept to create a delicate proposal. The final design will reinstate Prices Court’s presence on a rapidly changing street scene; as the local proximity and wider Battersea area undergo significant development.
