On the proposed site for the Grenadier House development is an existing office building of five storey plus basement.
The site is located in Westminster close to the River Thames and is in flood zone 3 defended.
The proposals include the demolition of the existing building and the redevelopment of the site to create a new residential housing scheme. It will comprise of two residential buildings of six storeys, with self-contained residences above a ground floor level of communal areas and a central shared garden. There will also be a basement level housing a car park.
Deep piles are considered the most appropriate foundation solution due to the high loads from the proposed building and the significant thickness of made ground. The superstructure will be formed of reinforced concrete flat slabs supported on core walls and columns.
