Part 2 Brief 10 - Apartment Layouts
10Apartment Layouts
The development provides:168 Private apartments in Buildings B & C.85 Senior Living apartments in Building A.
The Private apartments consist of 32 unit typescovering Studios, One, Two & Three bedroom units, on levels 2-26 in Building B and 2-23 in Building C.
The top two floors of each Building are occupied by a Penthouse Duplex Apartment.
Building A consists of 16 unit types located across levels 1-14.
Following design coordination with St. James, Goddard Littlefair and JRA the apartment layouts have been designed to maximise the orientation North & West, towards the river views, with the placement of the principle rooms addressing the views down the river to the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye.

Floor Area Gained & Lost10.3
An early area review by JRA of the total
saleable floor area of the consented
scheme indicated an overall shortfall in
NSA of 184 m2 (Buildings B & C).
A reason for the shortfall in the Planning
areas was the figures were rounded up
or down to the nearest square metre,
which over 168 apartments produced a
significant loss in area.
Following a general review of the
efficiency of the cores and communal
circulation areas, it was agreed that there
was not scope to reduce the core sizes,
and St. James were not keen to reduce
the communal corridor widths below the
1500mm figure indicated on the Planning
scheme. As such, it was agreed that
the main scope to redress this shortfall
was to reduce the length of communal
corridors where possible, provided
that this did not create apartment
hallways longer than the maximum 13m
recommended by Fire Design Solutions.
This was achieved on apartment type
C23A for example (located on 8th
to 13th floors of Building C), where
communal corridor space could be
incorporated within the apartment
without any loss of privacy (in respect of
the proximity of adjacent apartment front
doors).
On the Planning scheme, the Studio
apartment types had all included a 1.5m
deep balcony. However, this arrangement
signiciantly compromised the living space
and general layout of these apartments.
The current scheme proposes that the
Studios will have a Juliet balcony instead,
so floor area has been gained on these
twelve apartments.
The overall affect of the optimisation
excercise on the NSA is that:
Building A increased by 45.6m2 (0.89%)
Building B increased by 78.0m2 (0.77%)
Building C increased by 44.5m2 (0.51%)
All figures refer to increases over the
consented Planning scheme.

Floor Area Gained & Lost10.3
Following design input from Goddard
Littlefair, the duplex Penthouse layouts
have been substantially developed since
the Planning scheme.
The previous scheme indicated a straight
stair, open to the main living area and
located directly adjacent to the main
communal stair core. The proposed plans
switch the levels of living and sleeping
accommodation and now feature a
spiral stair addressing the double-height
void, facing over the River Thames.
This spiral stair links the lower sleeping
accommodation (entry level) with that
of the upper living accommodation. The
stair then continues upwards to provide
direct access to the roof terrace.
The depth of the proposed double height
void has been increased in size since the
Planning scheme, particularly on Building
C, which has had an effect on the net
saleable area.
Other reductions in floor area have
resulted from two fire strategy
requirements, as follows:
The inclusion of an alternative means
of escape on the entrance level
(now incorporating the sleeping
accommodation), resulting in a small loss
of area near to the core common stair
door
Continuing the proposed smoke shaft up
through the upper floor accommodation
to roof level, which was not allowed for
on the Planning scheme.
This resultant loss of floor space has
been limited to a shortfall of just 3m2 on
Building B and 1.1m2 on Building C.
This is due partly as a result of the
Planning scheme not previously including
the area of the stair at the upper floor
level (which can be included under NSA/
GIA guidance), but also as the upper
floor area extends into the curved bays
and other full-height glazed areas. These
areas had not been measured on the
Planning scheme.

The higher value apartments are
arranged on the upper floors with the
best views over the River Thames.
It is aknowledged that St James propose
to make adjustments to the specification
banding post Part 2 Brief document, to
more fully address the importance of the
river aspect on sales values.
The living rooms to almost all apartments,
and also the master bedrooms in some
of the higher value units, feature curved
balconies, with full-height glazed patio
screens and glass balustrades, designed
to optimise the panoramic views North
and West over the river and South East
towards Canary Wharf.
Where possible, the apartments have
been laid out to create direct lines of
sight from the entrance doors, down
through the hallways, to the living
spaces and views beyond. An open
plan approach has been adopted to
the kitchens and main living spaces,
continuing the feeling of openness
towards the view.
The apartments have been designed to
achieve full Lifetime Homes compliance,
in accordance with London Housing
Design Guide and to assist with
achieving Code for Sustainable Homes
Level 4.

Typical Apartment Types
Four ‘typical’ apartment types have
been selected by the Design Team,
representing a range of sizes and
specification bandings, for the purposes
of developing a coordinated Interior
Design and Services strategy for the
apartments, including establishing
maximum achievable ceiling heights.
These established principles will then be
applied when developing the remaining
apartment types.
The apartment types selected are:

Ceiling Height Strategy
10.6
The ceiling heights strategy has been
developed between JRA, Goddard
Littlefair and Hoare Lea, with a view to
creating a feeling of luxury, additional
spaciousness and visual interest within
the primary rooms. All main living spaces
feature coffered ceilings, as do the
bedrooms and some bathrooms in spec
bands C & D apartments. The coffers
conceal continuous perimeter lighting,
together with the air condition grilles.
A recessed blind box detail is typically
proposed where the ceiling perimeter
meets the external fenestration, to
address the difference in height between
the ceiling and underside of bullnose
feature on the external cladding.
Concealed lighting is also proposed in
slots over the doors to the hallway, and at
the perimeters of rooms in some areas,
for additional visual interest.
The standard floor to floor height of
2985mm varies towards the top of the
buildings, increasing by 100mm for the
full-floor-plate apartments and lower
penthouse levels, and 515mm for the
upper penthouse levels. The floor to
ceiling heights increase by the same
amount.
In addition to these variations in the
floor to floor heights, the main factors
determining the apartment ceiling heights
are:
1. The minimum required ceiling depth to
conceal sprinkler pipework: 130mm, as
advised by FDS
2. The minimum coffer depth: 163mm,
determined by the depth and required
fixing zone for the perimeter air
conditioning grilles, as advised by Hoare
Lea.
3. The clear ceiling void depths required
for FCU’s and services crossovers:
320mm and 250mm respectively, as
advised by Hoare Lea.
To maximise ceiling heights, it is
proposed to use a British Gypsum
‘Extended Gypliner’ system under
services, as this system has a build-up of
just 31mm, compared to their standard
Casoline MF system, which has a
construction depth of 84mm.
The resultant ceiling heights achieved are
as follows:
Proposed ceiling heights to standard
floors (2nd to 21st floors on Building B &
2nd to 19th floors on Building C).
2515mm to the recessed coffers
2340mm to the coffer perimeters &
hallways
2290 mm beneath FCU’s.

Bathroom Layouts
The design of the bathrooms has been
considerably developed and rationalised
by JRA & Goddard Littlefair since
the Planning scheme, with a view to
minimising the number of standard
types (four types of which are shown in
plan opposite), and with the aspiration
to include 4 and 5 piece suites to
Master bathrooms in all except band A
apartments.
The higher value units also include a
separate visitor WC provision, located
close to the main reception rooms.
The brief requires flush shower trays to
be provided to all apartments except
bands A & B, which have low-profile
shower trays, which has dictated a need
for a soil stack to be located immediately
adjacent to the shower areas.
All apartments meet the sanitary
requirements of Lifetime Homes/Part M
by providing at least one fully adaptable
bath room.
The principle approach to Lifetime
Homes compliance is as follows:
Studio Apartments
Shower Room (LTH Compliant) accessed
from the hallway.
One Bedroom Apartments
Shower Room (LTH Compliant) accessed
from the hallway.
Two Bedroom Apartments
Guest Shower / Bathroom (LTH Compliant)
accessed from the hallway.
3/4/5 Piece En-Suite Bathroom to the
Master Bedroom.
Three Bedroom Apartments
Guest Shower Room Accessed from the
hallway.
4/5 Piece En- suite Bathroom to the
Master Bedroom.
En-suite Shower Room (LTH Compliant)
to the Secondary Bedroom.

Part 2 Brief 10 - Apartment Layouts
10.9Apartment Layouts
Building C - Apartment Types
The top two levels of Building B (25th
& 26th floors) and Building C (22nd &
23rd floors) are occupied by the three
bedroom Penthouse duplex apartments.
These are accessed at their lower level
from the lift core, into a private (but
currently un-demised) lobby area.
During the development of the Part 2
Brief it was agreed with St James that
the layout of the Penthouses would be
further enhanced by being ‘inverted’,
i.e. with the sleeping accommodation
located at entrance level, and a suite of
interconnecting living rooms on the upper
level, enjoying the most elevated views
having increased floor to ceiling heights
and having the additional benefit of direct
access to the extensive private roof
terrace above. This inverted solution also
offered considerable advantages in terms
of resolving the public health stacking.
The double-height entrance reception
room and gallery will offer panoramic
views eastwards and westwards
immediately upon entering, with a feature
spiral stair reflecting the curvature of the
fully glazed cladding beyond. The stair
continues to the roof level to provide
direct access to the roof level terrace,
through an automatically operated
sliding-glazed panel in the roof.
A ‘soft spot’ is also proposed in the
floor slab adjacent to the double-height
main entrance space, which will allow
the purchaser the option of installing
a feature panoramic through-floor lift,
further linking the two main levels, (with
the potential for extending this lift to the
roof level). This provision will also fulfil
the Lifetime Homes requirement for a
future through-floor lift.
If extending the lift to roof level, Planning
Permission would need to be sought as
the lift would be visable over the roof
parapet level of 89.9m.
Further coordination with BMU design
will need to be undertaken to avoid a
clash during BMU operation.
At the upper level a formal living room
opens directly off the double-height
space, with views west to the Houses
of Parliament, and a large formal dining
room beyond. At the opposite end of
the dining room is an additional informal
living area and the family kitchen/dining
space, with views across south east
London.
The layout includes a seperate ‘hidden
kitchen’ and utility room immediately
adjoining the main kitchen, located for
ease of access to the reception rooms.
This provides an (unseen) independent
route for servicing and deliveries from
the lifts at entrance level, via the main
stair core.
This route has the additional function of
providing the required alternative means
of escape from the upper level.

The reception lobby provides access to
both Buildings B and C from a single
central area, with two entrances: one
on the Western facade facing towards
the river accessed from the public realm
space, primarily used by pedestrian
visitors, and the second accessed from
the drop-off zone primarily used by
residents and visitors arriving by car.
The visitors’ entrance opens into a double
height space within which Goddard
Littlefair have designed a feature
fireplace within a curved onyx wall, and a
sculptural chandelier.
The main reception lobby has been
designed by Goddard Littlefair to include
a feature concierge reception desk
facing the drop-off entrance, a central
sculpture element and visitor seating.
There are lobbies to the lift entrances to
each Building with further seating and
postboxes, these lobbies are partially
screened from the main reception area
by glass and metal fins.
The escape stair from Building B
terminates in the double height entrance
space, and in the case of fire within the
reception lobby a fire curtain will descend
to separate the escape route to the
external door.
Staff welfare facilities (See Commercial
Section Plan - 7.5) are located in
Basement level 2, adjacent to the
residents’ entertainment room, and
accessed from Building C core.
A location plan of the Staff welfare
facilities can be found in Section 7.5 of
this document.

The upper floor lift lobbies serving the
apartments continue the development’s
horizontal banded aesthetic from both
the external facades and the apartment
interiors, with recessed mid-height niches
on to the lift core walls, illuminated with
concealed wallwash lighting.
A linear ceiling coffer with concealed
lighting provides a directional emphasis
to the apartment entrances.
The apartment front doors are part-
recessed into the party walls, with a
matching fixed side panel to the door,
enhancing the scale and proportion of
the apartment entrances.

Residents’ Members Lounge
Residents Members Lounge
The residents members lounge is
located on the 19th floor of Building B,
accessed directly from the lift lobby, and
offers spectacular river views from large
windows and external terraces.
The lounge provides a bar facility and
lounge seating for about 20 people
within an air conditioned environment,
with a central fire place feature (that
also conceals the soil stacks from the
apartments on the upper floors).
The lounge also provides outdoor seating
on a small south facing private balcony
and a larger west facing planted roof
terrace with a central feature fire pit
The lounge has dedicated WC facilities
and its own cleaners store.
13.1
Part 2 Brief 13 - Residential Facilities
Residential Facilities
Spa & Gymnasium
A number of alternative locations for
the Spa facility were reviewed (see Spa
Options Report in the Appendix section)
and it was concluded that the Spa in
the planning consent location was the
preferred option, as it optimises the
layout of the Spa facility itself as well as
the layouts for the offices and restaurant.
One of the main factors in this review
was the impact on the space below
the pool. In the alternative proposed
locations, selected to allow prime views
from the Spa facility, the pool would be
sited over either the office or restaurant
space and would reduce the ceiling
height to 1.875m for the office or 2.15m
for the restaurant, in addition to requiring
a number of support columns. The
height issue could have been mitigated
by raising the pool above floor level to
increase the ceiling heights by 600mm,
but this measure would compromise the
design of the pool and the ceiling height
over the pool. The subsequent decision
to lower the level of the first floor slab by
400mm meant that even this mitigation
measure would not achieve acceptable
ceiling heights under the pool.
First Floor
Reception
The entrance to all of the Spa facilities
is at first floor level, accessed from the
Building C core, with direct level access
to the changing rooms, pool, vitality pool,
treatment rooms, and steam & sauna
rooms. A feature curved staircase has
been added to allow direct access to the
gymnasium on the ground floor. Disabled
access between floors would be by use
of the Building C core lifts.
Pool
The pool meets the criteria for a non-
lifeguarded pool, having a water surface
area of 72m2 (which is less than the
permitted maximum of 170m2) and is
1.2m deep with no change of depth
The pool is flush with the finished floor
level with ‘infinity edges’ against the
external cladding, and is entered via
ladders at each end. The pool is mainly
located over the pool plant room so the
reduced headroom and support structure
below do not compromise the commercial
areas.
There is a partially separated walkway
along the side of the pool for access
from the reception and changing rooms
to the ancillary facilities, with seating
areas adjacent to the main pool and the
vitality pool. There is also direct access
to the residents’ landscaped terrace
The location of the pool does not allow
the concierge staff to be the emergency
first aiders, as it does not meet the
10:20 rule (see emergency happen in
first 10 seconds, respond and give care
in next 20 seconds) as the concierge
would be too far away (more than the
recommended 40m). The management
would need to consider one of the
attendants of the ancillary facilities
providing this water emergency cover.
The pool looks over the residents’
terrace, but is overlooked from the
terrace and the adjacent rail lines,
consideration will need to be given to
treatment of the glazing to maintain
privacy.
Vitality Pool
The semi-circular pool is located above
the slab so as not to compromise the
ceiling height in the restaurants below,
and will have a central stepped access.
The pool is overlooked from the
residents’ terrace so consideration will
need to be given to treatment of the
glazing to maintain privacy.
Steam and Sauna
The steam and sauna facilities are
located opposite the vitality pool, and are
sized to allow for up to 8 people in each
room.
Treatment Room
One treatment room is provided,
accessed from the reception area.
Changing Rooms
Changing rooms are located adjacent to
the reception area with direct access to
the pool and ancillary facilities, and down
the stairs to the gymnasium.
There are five individual changing room,
each with a shower, a WC, a wash basin,
and locker space. It is recommended
that the lockers are fitted with locks that
open after a set length of time to prevent
residents from using them overnight.
Disabled Facilities
One of the changing rooms is designed
as an accessible facility for wheelchair
users, and a portable pool hoist will be
provided.
13.2
Ground Floor
Gymnasium
The gymnasium is located on the ground
floor accessed by stairs from the first
floor reception area and changing
facilities, the gymnasium also has lobbied
means of escape direct to the Building C
core escape corridor.
The gymnasium has equipment in a
cardio suite, a resistance suite, and a free
weights suite, in addition to two personal
training areas and a stretch area, there is
also a juice bar.
Although the gymnasium faces the main
vehicle entry to the basement car park
and drop-off zone, it will shielded from
view by a curved wall enclosing the
internal stairs.
As the gymnasium is located over the
basement plant areas, there should not
be any acoustic issues with transmission
of noise and vibration from the
gymnasium to occupied areas.
