Tackling elevated acoustic requirements at Knightsbridge Gate

Complete

The design solution for this London-based project involved a physical gap between the grade II listed facade and the new structure behind it

在骑士桥55-91号二级立面后面,新建了15套豪华公寓,作为混合用途建筑的一部分。这是伦敦最长的立面保留方案。

MSMR Architects were responsible for designing the residential area, which backs up and over the building, with office spaces along the first and second floor and independent retail units along the ground level.

Assigned the job in 2014 for APML Estates, the design drew inspiration from the building’s Edwardian heritage, with a rich palette of materials, textures and intricate detailing. Working closely with artisan suppliers, the team sought out bespoke joinery, ironmongery, stonework and metalwork.

One intricate requirement posed a unique challenge in bringing this project to completion. The client had extremely high acoustic requirements and, with the Piccadilly line running almost directly under the site, the vibrational energy generated would have led to undesirable noise levels within the building.
