EMBASSY GARDENS / NINE ELMS / BATTERSEA / LONDON / UK
There are few development opportunities left in London that can offer the sheer scope of the Nine Elms site in Battersea. With the US government building their new embassy on 5 acres, we are developing the retained 15 acres and plan a bold 21st century mixed use development, drawing inspiration from the attractive residential and commercial estates which evolved over time in cities like New York and Boston – not inappropriate, we feel, as the new US embassy quarter will be a close neighbour. This will be a highly collaborative effort, calling for delicate and imaginative management of several different architect partnerships to create an entirely new district that Londoners can be proud of.
