Scandi-on-the-Wandle

‘Wandlehavn’ was the name HAL gave to a six-block mixed-use regeneration scheme proposed for a disused gasworks site on the River Wandle north of Wandsworth town centre.

The feasibility study for a private developer client proposed six mainly residential blocks with 200-plus apartments and some commercial space, in varied forms, reducing in size from the site’s northern end, overlooking a railway, towards the south. The lower rise blocks saw-tooth roof forms reference surrounding industrial uses.

A new public realm at the scheme’s heart opens up 200m of the east bank of the Wandle, enabling potential for a pedestrian route north to the river Thames, or south to the town centre. And it opens up the site’s eastern aspect to a new green route, creating a natural barrier to a large gasholder to the east.
