Backlands Office 6 Flat Conversion in Church Way, Edgware

Plans in to convert the first floor of an rather oddly located office block into 6 flats in Edgware. The access appears to be entirely along a long path.

The scheme has been drawn up by figure/ground architects, will replace the existing 2 storey office building which is owned by Clear Channel, who also operate the billboards that currently block the view of the site from the West Cromwell Road. The new building will not only provide 38 apartments, but also more office space than the current building supports.

Given the traffic noise from the Great West Road, and the presence of the billboards which will be maintained, the plans are for an access corridor to front this elevation clad in ghosted glass blocks, with only secondary windows fronting this elevation. Thus all flats will be dual aspect, but with only secondary rooms such as bathrooms fronting the West Cromwell Road side of the building.

The building will have a total of 59 flats, in addition to retail units and also consist of two subterranean levels. 30 car parking spaces and 142 cycle stands will be included.

All of the 59 flats are proposed as private accomodation, with 18 one bed units, 15 two bed flats, 22 three bed apartments and four larger units with at least four bedrooms a piece. Presumably there will be a hefty off-site affordable payment if this gets approval.

The total retail space will decline, but only slightly – from 1507 sqm to 1455 sqm. More significantly the character will change – gone will be the stalls, stands and wooden sheds of the farmers market. These have been here since the 1980s, but were always intended as temporary.

The scheme, designed by PDP LDN, calls for the creation of a semi-open courtyard and a retail square, with the buildings wrapped around these new spaces.
