The planning application has now been submitted to the London Borough of Camden for Kilburn & District’s and General Projects’ Camden Point redevelopment of 25 to 27 Camden Road, marking an important milestone in the transformation of an underutilised office building into sustainable purpose built student accommodation.
Working alongside Kilburn & District’s and General Projects as developers, Allford Hall Monaghan Morris (AHMM) as architect, Heyne Tillett Steel (HTS) as structural engineer and CPW as MEP consultant, we are delivering Project Management, Quantity Surveying and Carbon Management services, supporting the coordination of the project through design and planning.
The proposals retain and extend much of the existing structure, transforming the former office building into a highly sustainable purpose built student accommodation development. Alongside high quality internal and external amenity spaces, the scheme enhances the surrounding public realm through landscaped canal side terraces, improved connectivity and active frontages that strengthen the relationship between the site and Regent’s Canal.
Our integrated Project Management, Quantity Surveying and Carbon Management services include design coordination, programme management, cost planning and value engineering. Working closely with the wider consultant team, we help balance design quality, commercial objectives and sustainability ambitions while managing the complexities associated with a retained structure, Higher Risk Building requirements, a canal side location, and existing infrastructure beneath the site. Through coordinated technical, commercial and carbon management advice during RIBA Stage 2, we help create a robust and deliverable scheme that responds to planning requirements and long term project objectives.
Retaining the past, creating the future
Sustainability underpins the proposals. Retaining and retrofitting much of the existing building significantly reduces embodied carbon while supporting Camden’s climate ambitions. The development targets BREEAM Excellent and incorporates an all electric building services strategy, photovoltaic panels, air source heat pumps, green roofs and carefully selected low carbon materials to reduce environmental impact throughout the building’s lifecycle.
The proposals also deliver wider community benefits through two new retail and community units, enhanced public realm, new planting, seating and accessible canalside landscaping. Together, these improvements will create a welcoming environment that contributes positively to the Regent’s Canal Conservation Area, while supporting London’s growing demand for high-quality, purpose-built student accommodation.
