Skerne Road

Skerne Road Apartments, Kingston on Thames, London
The Royal Gallery, is a new development of 1, 2,and 3-bedroom apartments and penthouses near Kingston upon Thames', close to central London. Surrounded by popular bars, this development aligns with similar accommodations in Skerne Road and nearby areas. Our role at HHA was to develop and refine the planning application, allowing the client to make key decisions independently. The clients chose unique balcony designs for each penthouse, providing residents with a relaxing outdoor space despite being in an apartment complex.  A significant challenge during construction was the rapid pace of the project, which required our HHA team to be continually on-site. This constant presence ensured that the clients were highly satisfied with the outcome. The development also incorporated affordable housing, with 5No.units specifically designed for disabled residents. Emphasizing accessibility was a key aspect of the design.
The area surrounding the Royal Gallery is characterized by similar residential developments. Our project needed to complement these surroundings while incorporating unique features such as timber cladding, which was designed to weather and silver gracefully over time. Throughout the project, HHA navigated various challenges, including value engineering, which, despite some concerns, did not compromise the overall quality. The project was successfully completed in 2011,leaving both the clients and HHA satisfied with the results. The Royal Gallery contributes positively to the vibrant community of Kingston upon Thames, providing a accessible modern living spaces in a prime location.
