Regenerating the heart of Wandsworth Our masterplan will transform an industrial island site into a series of interlinked public urban spaces with the retained heritage buildings providing a unique character to the development and the River Wandle as a focal point for Wandsworth. The Ram Brewery Site, formerly the Young’s Brewery, has been a well-known landmark in the heart of Wandsworth Town centre for over 150 years. The historic Grade II* Brewery Complex and Grade II listed Stables will be sensitively restored to provide accommodation for boutiques, restaurants, a craft-brewery, a brewery museum and above these a limited number of exclusive loft style apartments. The previously inaccessible riverfront will feature enhanced biodiversity, terraces, pedestrian footpaths and three new bridges. Strategically located at the northern end of the development the residential tower signals the regeneration of Wandsworth Town and the rediscovery of the River Wandle. Its dynamic triangular form sits purposefully on the ground and emerges with varying setback terraces to reveal a more slender version of itself. Whilst the three elevations produce an elegant silhouette, the dramatic angular corners emphasize the buildings verticality and address the three principle approaches from the town centre, the borough and London. Ten lower level buildings adopt and reinterpret the materials, forms and scale of the existing industrial structures to form the urban edges to the public realm. At ground level their elevations are enlivened with retail units to create a vibrant and active environment whilst above the high quality residential accommodation benefits from the more tranquil setting of private elevated gardens. The proposed redevelopment of the Ram Brewery will create a new urban quarter that celebrates and preserves the strong heritage of the historic site and its brewery buildings creating a vibrant new heart within Wandsworth Town centre.
