Creekside
Description:
Proposals for Creekside Village, a huge
new development between the London
Boroughs of Lewisham and Greenwich has
been submitted to the Mayor of London's
office for initial representations.
The aesthetics are dominated by three
triangularly shaped towers of
crystalline glass jutting skywards with
their smooth floor to ceiling glazing
punctured only by the balconies for
residents.
The complicated scheme is made up of two
sections (East and West) split into
three separate applications, Creekside
Village East (Greenwich), Creekside
Village East (Lewisham) and Creekside
Village West (Greenwich).
The combined Creekside Village East is
the largest chunk of the application
with four buildings from 10 to 23 floors
tall on the site.
There will be 438 apartments within,
plus 3,500 square metres of retail and
office space for small companies band
most significantly, the site is next to
the Laban Dance School so 7,491 square
metres of space for them to use as
exhibition space, dance areas, an
archive and other associated uses.
The smaller section of the project is
Creekside Village West which will have
another 371 apartments, and 9,548 square
metres for offices, studio workshops and
cultural space. 35% of the total housing
on the scheme will be affordable.
Both East and West include plenty of new
parking, plus alterations to the
existing streetscapes and landscaping to
make the area more attractive.
Right now the area is about half a
kilometre from the town centre of
Greenwich and is a brownfield site that
until recently was dominated by industry.
Things started to change in Deptford
when the Laban Dance Centre relocated
there with their critically acclaimed
new building and since then a trickle of
largely residential proposals have
gradually come out including the rebuilt
Aragon Tower, Greenwich Reach and the
Seager Distillery Tower making it an
interesting development hotspot.
These new proposals, designed by Squire
and Partners, who coincidentally also
worked on the Seager Distillery Tower,
will only add more to the feeling of
buzz in this area if they actually go-ahead.
Completion is for
2012.
