SUMMARY:Ely Court
DESCRIPTION:ABA’s proposal reinstates the block and street pattern that characterised this archetypal 19th C London ‘suburb’ before its post-war redevelopment. A new inner block mews draws pedestrians and vehicles into what was previously an isolated and under-used ‘green space’ between existing slab blocks and acts as a spine connecting the two new developments. Ely Court was conceived as four building types\, each of a different scale and organisation responding to its specific locale. The four storey Terrace and the Flatiron Building each offer strong new street frontages to Chichester Road. The Terrace\, Mews and Flatiron Blocks frame a new public garden square in front of Canterbury Court. This open space was formerly underused and now provides park space\, framed by four generations of architecture. The Mews shares its surface\, with new street trees.  \nThe intention of the regeneration is to re-integrate the Estate into the wider South Kilburn neighbourhood\, create a sense of place\, by replacing existing poor quality\, single tenure 1960s building stock\, with high quality\, mixed tenure\, developments demonstrating architectural excellence and diverse communities.  \nThe four building types have all been designed to provide exceptionally high quality\, bright and spacious units. Areas generally exceed space standards. The floor to ceiling height is exceptionally generous at 2.6m throughout the scheme and all windows are full floor to ceiling height. The fenestration consists mainly French doors\, with their accompanying sense of light\, space and quality.  \n  \nThe buildings act as an interpretation of the 19th C mansion blocks of neighbouring Maida Vale\, but with 2 storey maisonettes on the ground floor. The maisonettes are typically interspersed with communal entrances that provide access to apartments above; via double height entrances with perforated brick screens. The facades are animated with front porticoes and recessed balconies\, resulting in highly articulated\, rhythmic facades.  \nThe scheme aimed to be delivered within traditional construction techniques and looks to make best use of a simple material palette which is durable and low maintenance\, but that also communicate long term values for generations to come. The structural frame is made of pre-fabricated hollowcore slabs supported by blockwork. The frame is externally finished with a Dutch brick laid in a running bond. Composite windows have been used throughout allowing for a warmer internal finish in natural timber. Fenestration is generally double leaf and full height which open in the form of a Juliette balconies. Metalwork is found in the form of painted balustrades to all balconies and railings at ground floor. The 2 storey porticoes\, are framed in steel and clad with darker coloured aluminium\, in contrast to the light sandy brickwork.  \nThe total cost of this project was £13.75m. The income from the sale of the private sale homes has been used to cross-subsidise the affordable housing. Catalyst Housing Group purchased the scheme from the Brent Council in 2012\, the land payment has helped support the Council in funding the buyouts and planning costs of the next phase of this regeneration.  \n\n \nName of work in English  \nEly Court  \nName of work in original language  \nEly Court  \nPlacement  \nFinalist  \nPrize year  \n2017  \nLocation  \nLondon\, United Kingdom  \nYear completed  \n2015 (Year began 2012)  \nStudios  \nAlison Brooks Architects  \nAuthors  \n\nAlison Brooks (1962 United Kingdom) \n\nCollaborators  \n\nArchitect: Nelson Carvalho\, Chris Smaill\, Sergey Kurdyashev\, Ceri Edmunds\nConstruction company: Malcolm Hester\, Phil Trueman\, Ian Beaumont\nConstruction manager: Elena Brodetsky \n\nProgram  \nCollective housing  \nLabels  \nComplex\, Shaped\, Social  \nTotal area  \n6.509 m2  \nUsable floor area  \n4.643 m2  \nCost  \n2.057€/m2 €/m2  \nClient  \nBrent Council / Catalyst Housing Group  \nClient Type  \npublic  \nMap  \nLatLng: (51.534472038094215\, -0.19575615476992425)  \n
