Phase 2, the Blackheath Quarter, faces onto the new Kidbrooke Park. Together with Phase 2a, planning permission has been achieved for 540 new homes, including apartment blocks and terraced housing. The introduction of dual aspect, courtyard and mews house typologies has helped provide higher density accommodation, without resorting to a flatted development. By providing a range of medium density housing configurations with a strong relationship to the new green space for recreation and ecology, the design promotes an inherently stable and sustainable future community.

Houses and apartments are designed to achieve a Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4. Renewable technologies including biomass boiler plant and solar hot water generation have been incorporated into the scheme to achieve this requirement.

A ‘wet’ swale (series of small lakes) has been designed and integrated into the park to provide both a habitat for wildlife and to provide surface water retention across this and future phases on the site.

Goodman’s Fields is a premier development by Berkeley. The development comprises over 1000 apartments, with a selection of high quality studios, one, two and three bedroom apartments. The tower rises up to 22 storeys in a structured podium block. This project consists of three phases, containing an extensive retail and commercial space with the inclusion of a 250-bedroom hotel, a 4-screen cinema and a Primary Care Trust. Goodman’s Fields is developed in a traffic free, public realm containing dramatic new sculptures and additional pieces of art.

The seven-acre, mixed-use development is located north of Tower Bridge and to the south east of Aldgate. The masterplan creates a high-density, inner-city neighbourhood incorporating a robust renewable energy strategy, intensive and extensive green roofs with over 0.8 hectares of public space.

Following the successful conclusion of the initial residential development at the historic Royal Arsenal, providing a mixture of converted buildings and new build infill, a new masterplan was instigated to incorporate remaining existing buildings and more extensive development stretching along the Thames. The first, Phase 1 (The Armouries) involved the development of new residential buildings with 450 apartments within a perimeter of mixed use Listed Buildings of the former Royal Carriage Works c1805.

The second phase (The Warehouse) is a complete new building on the site of a former stores and workshop, designed in a sympathetic style to reflect its historic industrial significance of the site.

Phase 3 (Laboratory Square) is a wrap around development reflecting the sixteenth century courtyard formation of Laboratory buildings and incorporates restoration of the two oldest surviving Listed Buildings, c1694, at the Royal Arsenal.
