Designed by Patel Taylor, the Lombard Wharf residential tower in Battersea boasts an eye-catching silhouette. The original design focuses on maximising the available provision of public space at the base of the building for pedestrian and cycle routes as well whilst preserving existing views of the river and the land. The projects distinctive twisting appearance was achieved with very subtle changes to the positioning of the white precast concrete balconies on each level.
Upon completion in 2017 the project was awarded several prizes, including Housebuilder Awards 2016 and What House Awards 2017. Barratt London were both the main contractor and developer of Lombard Wharf.
The design itself presents a building that appears to twist as it rises, which was achieved with very subtle changes to the positioning of the white precast concrete balconies.
We engaged CFS to supply the thermal breaks for our precast concrete balconies on Lombard Wharf, as we needed a collaborative approach to ensure that the sequencing and onsite works were smooth and timely for us to remain on programme. We knew that we could rely on CFS in that regard.
