Project description
A Masterclass in Urban Integration & Structural Precision
The Vision Located in the heart of Balham, this flagship project involved the ambitious demolition of a redundant retail unit to make way for a sophisticated, four-story mixed-use development. The objective was clear: create a sustainable, high-density structure that harmonizes with the SW12 architectural landscape while providing premium spaces for retail, leisure, and residential living.
Technical Complexity & Execution
The cornerstone of this project was the installation of 249 tonnes of structural steelwork. Executing this was a significant logistical feat; our team managed the build directly above an active TK Maxx, ensuring zero disruption to existing ground-floor operations or the residential tenants occupying the floors above.
Retail & Leisure: We delivered 600 sqm of prime retail space (now home to Superdrug) and a massive 1,500 sqm leisure floor (occupied by Anytime Fitness).
Residential Excellence: The upper levels comprise 12 high-specification flats, designed to meet the growing demand for quality urban living.
Architectural Synergy: To satisfy stringent planning conditions, we meticulously matched the front-facing tiled roof and brickwork to the adjacent heritage buildings, ensuring a seamless aesthetic transition.
Sustainability & Responsibility
As a modern London developer, we exceeded standard expectations by adhering to:
BREEAM Standards: Ensuring long-term energy efficiency and a reduced carbon footprint.
Considerate Constructor Scheme: Prioritizing the local community through minimal noise pollution and proactive site management.
Successfully delivered in March 2019, the Balham High Road Development stands as a testament to Evoke’s ability to manage complex “live-site” environments. It is more than just a building; it is a vital contribution to the local economy and a landmark piece of modern London construction.
