The Peak Completes

Брой мнения : 94 Join date : 06.07.2011

The latest development that is part of the emerging jigsaw of regeneration around London's Victoria Station in the City of Westminster has been officially completed.

At only 9 floors above ground, The Peak may not literally live up to its name with the scale such that it would be lost in the City of London, but the joint venture between CIS and Heron International, the developer of the Heron Tower, still manages to have a landmark effect thanks to the key site it sits on.

Containing 11,280m square metres of space it stands to the immediate east of Victoria Station. With 10,400 square metres offices with the other 1,780 square metres of space being retail taken by HBOS, it occupies a prominent position overlooking the busy bus station of Terminal Place.

To the north of the building, it's bounded by the curving streets of Wilton Road and Vauxhall Bridge Road. The project responds in a similar manner by curving around the boundary of the site creating a distinctive frontage. The curves are continued with the vaulted canopy above the roof that also juts out like a baseball cap giving some measure of solar shading to the recessed fully glazed upper floor.

The Peak is just the latest of a number of office buildings with grade A spaced designed by Sheppard Robson that have been recently completed including the Blade in Reading, another mid-rise building but on that occasion it's one boosted by a substantial spire.

They remain unbeaten but boss Kenny Jackett was frustrated at seeing them blow a two-goal lead for the second time this term.

"It's disappointing because we looked in a strong position and had a number of chances to put the game away," he said.

"Their keeper made a couple of good saves, and at 2-1 up he's touched one onto the post, and they've gone down the other end and scored.

And they appeared dead and buried when Hameur Bouazza collected Darius Henderson's pass and doubled their advantage after the break.

But Taylor came off the bench in the 55th minute, and a quarter of an hour later he set up Lee Frecklington to pull one back.

And moments after Trotter had hit a post for the Lions, Taylor completed the comeback with a low 20-yard strike.
