Castle House

The Castle House site offers an opportunity to create a development that sets the standard for design quality for the future regeneration of the Elephant & Castle.

The client’s brief challenged the design team to develop a concept that embraces energy efficiency targeting an EcoHomes assessment rating of “excellent”.

The development involves the erection of two new buildings comprising a 43 storey building rising to 147m above ground level and a 5 storey pavilion building.

The design explores opportunities to generate electricity on site via three 9m diameter wind turbines, together with grey water recycling and connection into a district heating scheme.
