One Pear Place, WATERLOO

Situated at the junction of Waterloo Road, Baylis Road and The Cut the scheme comprises a mix of retail, office and residential forming part of a greater regeneration project (also by Kyson) that includes the neighbouring Fire Station project and two other adjoining sites.

The massing is informed by the historic street plan reinstating an important anchor to the cruciform townscape, whilst the articulation and materiality mediates between two distinct character areas resulting in a building that is simplistically elegant and intelligently conceived.

To Baylis Road the building is conceived as two elements on a faceted building line relating to the scale and rhythm of the parade whilst Waterloo Road sees the building take on a larger singular form that responds to the scale and form of The Old Vic Theatre (opposite) and the Fire Station (adjacent).
