Revitalising an historic brown field site
'Sterling Place' is set to revitalise the historic site once owned by Bradbury Wilkinson & Co in New Malden, London. The project, for which Chapman Taylor is the architect, aims to provide 456 new one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, of which 169 will be affordable homes.
Designed with environmental sustainability in mind
Sterling Place incorporates eco-friendly features, including podium gardens, play areas, and extensive tree and shrub planting, contributing to a 10% biodiversity net gain in the area. Each energy-efficient home is projected to achieve an EPC rating of B or above. The site boasts 240 electric charging points, over 900 cycle storage spaces, and solar panels, showcasing a commitment to green living.
Design narrative that weaves together the past and present
Sterling Place, replacing a derelict former print works, features nods to the original site's history through muted green tones and patterns inspired by early 1900s banknotes. The development consists of seven staggered-height blocks, ranging from seven to fourteen storeys, offering panoramic views over south-west London and towards the City.
Sterling Place is scheduled for completion in 2027, with the first phase delivering homes in Winter 2025.
