2.0 AssessmentExisting Buildings

Audiology House comprises a Victorian four storey building, set over four floors, with later additions to the sides and rear. These range in height from one to four storeys. The main building was built as a single family residence which later became a production facility for the manufacture of hearing devices.

The main villa is a good example of the type, however the two industrial additions to its sides detract from its form. All of the buildings are accessed directly through openings into the main villa or via a link building which sits in the centre of the site.

The majority of the site is built upon with tarmac laid to the front and side of Audiology House to allow vehicle access. There is a row of planting directly behind the railings facing onto Nightingale land and in beds either side of the main entrance to the building.

2.1 AssessmentLocation & Character

The front of the site sits within the Nightingale Lane Conservation Area. The Conservation Area is predominantly residential in character with grand houses lining a wide street scene, featuring a wide variety of different architectural styles which combine harmoniously to form a pleasing and diverse townscape. Simple fenestration, yellow London stock brick, high eaves and grand entrances typify the Victorian developments along Nightingale Lane.

The original villa on the site dates from circa 1870 and is typical of a period of rapid development in the area. During these years Balham became a lively, fashionable, high-class suburb, close to the rapidly expanding rail network and within easy reach of the city.

2.2 AssessmentAccessibility/Transport Links

3.0 EvaluationOpportunities

The Audiology House site has excellent potential to create attractive domestic dwellings which will improve the amenity of the site and the street scape of Nightingale Lane.

The large villa is suitable for conversion into multiple dwellings by replacing the existing side additions and re-planing the building, the rear plot has potential to provide additional mews houses by extending the existing terrace.

Parking can readily be provided for both the flats and the houses to the rear, by maintaining a vehicle access route to the left of the site.

The proposed development seeks to realise the potential of the brown field site whilst minimising any impacts of the development and seeks to enhance the character of the area.

4.0 DesignRationale

The feedback received from the planning authority, heritage groups and local residents has informed the design rationale of the proposed scheme.

A modernist approach has been taken to the design of the new residential additions to the original villa on the site. Their design is intended to frame the existing villa and through the use of glazing and light coloured materials minimise the visual 'weight' of the additions by allowing light to pass deep into their floor plans and allow views of the villa through the new masses either side of it.

The mews houses have an individual simplistic style using crisp brick work and regular fenestration with brick banding to the ground floor street elevation.

The proposal creates:5 No. 1 bed flats6 No. 2 bed flats2 No. 3 bed flats3 No. Mews houses

The Gross Internal Area of the existing building is 2148 square meters, the proposed GIA of the residential scheme is 1640, a reduction of 508 square meters. The built footprint of the site also decreases by a third.

4.2 DesignLayout

The site layout responds to the restrictions imposed upon it, the requirement for vehicle access to the mews houses and provision of parking, including a disabled space, for the flats in Audiology House.

4.3 DesignMaterials

The modernist side additions to the main villa will use high quality curtain wall glazing with fine framing along with through coloured white concrete verticle columns, fascias and soffits. The exposed white concrete will echo the plaster work of the quoins and window surrounds to the principle villa.

The mews to the rear will be of finely detailed crisp brick work matching the colour and quality of the of the original main residence.

4.4 DesignQuality

This scheme has been designed to meet and exceed the guidance of the London Housing Design Guide, both in terms of space and quality standards. The ambitious design created by the architectural team presents a new iconic frontage to Nightingale Lane.

The properties created in this scheme offer a wide range of unit sizes and types in an attractive private development that minimises its impact on the environment.

4.5 DesignLandscaping & Lighting

A classical garden has been designed to the front of Audiology House to complement and emphasise the grand entrance to the apartment building.

A second green space to the rear of the main villa provides additional amenity space and a child's play area.

External presence activated way finding lighting will provide safety and security to the scheme whilst not affecting the privacy of the residential units.

4.6 DesignScale

The scheme reduces the built footprint and the overall mass of buildings on this site. The proposals re-harmonise the property with its surroundings. The side additions to Audiology House are subservient in terms of both design and scale, they hunker down into the landscape beside the original villa and their set backs at first floor level reduce the impact of their additional half storey height over the original additions.

The mews houses to the rear follow the line and height of the adjoining mews making no greater impact than the housing that preceded them.
