Mountford
Pigott is pleased to announce that the Big Yellow Self Storage facility in
Manchester is open for business.
This
six-storey building has been designed with simple elements and clean straight
lines drawing from the area’s considerable industrial heritage. The form of the
building is created through the interplay of two rectilinear boxes. The lower
box has a solid ‘concrete’ appearance. Some relief is created by angling the
entrance screen wall towards the vehicle entrance – assisting building users to
navigate the building. The upper box which is clad in Cor-ten steel adopts the
same orientation but is pushed forward so as to create visual energy in the
form.
A
three-storey high glazed ‘cut-out’ has been formed on the prominent street
corner to allow interaction with the public realm and to make the building’s
function readily legible. The deep reveals reinforce its solidity. The
feature’s position corresponds to the focal point identified in our original
site analysis.
Signage
is incorporated into the building fabric. An uber-scale Big Yellow logo is fret
cut into the Cor-ten cladding while the individual 3m high letters at street
level leave little doubt of the building’s function.
The
building is located in the Water Street Strategic Regeneration Area which is
seeing other major investment and regeneration proposals coming forward.
Mountford Pigott is delighted to have provided planning and construction drawing services for this recently completed residential scheme in Warlingham for Whitgift Estates Ltd. With truly spectacular views across the Woldingham Valley, the generously proportioned new-build apartments and duplex units have been fitted out to an exceptionally high standard in a contemporary style providing unique accommodation in the area. The drone footage by Strawberry Tech gives a great flavour of the development and the site. Contact Fine & Country and Hamptons International for sales. Congratulations to Whitgift on completing this development and we’re looking forward to working on the next one!
Work is nearing completion on our large residential project at Godstone Road in Whyteleafe, with the first block about to be handed over. The project comprises 118 apartments in a range of unit sizes together with a 6,000 sq ft medical centre, arranged as 5 villa blocks around high quality hard and soft landscaping. Our work included extensive site optimisation, and preparation of high quality animations, CGI’s and marketing material. The project used an innovative masonry framing system to fast track the build programme and provide a high quality envelope. Externally the blocks are clad in crisply detailed brickwork, forming a striking new feature to Godstone Road.
Mountford Pigott LLP is delighted to announce that the
London Borough of Wandsworth has passed a resolution to grant consent (subject
to s106 agreement) for our exciting new York Road Battersea scheme for the Big
Yellow Self Storage Company.
The mixed-use proposals have been painstakingly developed
with a team of technical consultants and in close consultation with the local
planning authority and the GLA. The scheme will see the demolition of the
existing buildings and the erection of a new 6 storey self-storage facility,
including artists’ studios and flexible office space as well as 168 new
residential units in blocks up to 20 storeys with ground floor retail and 1st
and 2nd floor offices, basement parking and new public realm landscaped areas
and podium.
Mountford Pigott is pleased to announce that the Big Yellow Self Storage store in Wandsworth is now complete and open for trading following the addition of a large and distinctive extension along Garratt Lane. Previous buildings on the site comprised a 6750m² BYSS facility and a vacant 4-storey office block. The new extension increased the total self-storage area on site by 3500m² following the demolition of the vacant office building.
The new building follows the footprint of the existing office building closely but takes a significantly different approach to the prominent east elevation with the use of high quality materials and a striking architectural design to create a contemporary addition to the local area and much needed storage space for residential and business customers.
