First Allies and Morrison Brighton Images

Detailed images of Allies and Morrison's latest project in Brighton have been released.

The project is located next to Wilkinson Eyre's approved Brighton Marina scheme and being developed by Explore Living, a subsidiary of busy home-builder, Laing O'Rourke.

The plans include two new towers, one of 16 floors called Marina Point, and the other at 28 called Marina Square. Marina Square subverts the visual expectations of a traditional apartment block by rising conservatively with internal on its lower floors and curving corners before the top 10 floors spiral creating smoothly protruding balconies as they rotate to the roofline which also follows the pattern set on the floors below.

These tall buildings are only two blocks of an entire estate of new buildings which will include 1,280 new apartments of which 40% will be affordable, infrastructure changes to help accommodate improved public transport and 8,000 square metres of green-space. When combined with the nearby Marina development the number of planned homes for this very small area quickly rises over 2,000.

As with the nearby Brighton Marina Tower, the colour of the day on the Explore Living project is an overwhelming Brighton white with only a few shades of what looks like khaki. Whilst this colour scheme is accepted by the planners, the sheer scale of what's proposed combined with what is already approved faces the danger of creating an almost monochromatic view.

Allies and Morrison will be hoping for more success with this scheme, their last Brighton one which was designed for Beetham was given the thumbs down on Friday after a long public inquiry.

Given the setting here with a tall building already approved nearby, it's unlikely that Explore Living will experience the same levels of opposition as Beetham did but even with this on their side they will still have to win on the merits of the design - something that is a tough order in a place as notoriously blue-rinse as Brighton.

Coin Street Community Builders have had their tower planned for Doon Street redesigned following complaints about the height and design of it, falling victim like many other developers to a trend of downscaling tall residential buildings in London.

Worked on by architect Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands it was previously 168 metres tall, had 47 floors and 355 apartments within. With four floors sliced off it will now be only 140 metres tall, a relatively minor height reduction but one that should make it almost invisible from vantage points such as Somerset House, 43 floors and 329 apartments.

The cumulative effect of this trend over similarly sized developments throughout central London is reducing the potential housing stock by several hundred apartments per year every year at a time when they are all desparately needed.charms
