The Nine Elms project for Telford Homes unfolded through two distinct phases. During Phase One, the primary focus centered on establishing the majority of residential buildings. Along South Lambeth Road, two modern mansion blocks crafted from red brick create a bold presence, enhanced by white terracotta penthouses that impart the impression of a miniature terrace of houses.
The ground floors of these blocks are brought to life with vibrant shops and restaurants. Adding to the architectural composition are two prominent tall buildings. The tallest, soaring to 35 storeys, aligns with the emerging scale on the opposite side of the railway viaduct. Simultaneously, its refined brick facade seamlessly integrates with the distinctive architectural character of Keybridge, and its massing gracefully steps down in response to the evolving context leading towards Vauxhall Park.

Situated along Marsh Wall on the Isle of Dogs, South Quay Plaza emerges as a key player in rejuvenating the venerable docklands encompassing Canary Wharf.
This versatile development comprises two structures: a towering residential edifice oriented towards Canary Wharf and a smaller counterpart to the south, seamlessly integrating with the Marsh Wall streetscape.
The latter encompasses retail spaces and a substantial new public plaza. In its previous state, the site was characterized by a hostile and densely built environment, creating both visual and physical barriers between Canary Wharf and the regions south of Marsh Wall.

Swift Brickwork Contractors Limited has been selected as the specialist brickwork contractor responsible for the construction of the upcoming Bishop’s Stortford High School, which opened its doors in January 2023.
Herts County Council, the educational authority overseeing the project, has chosen ISG to oversee the construction of the new campus located off Whittington Way.
Funding for the enhanced facilities will be derived from multiple sources, including contributions from the council, a substantial £11.2 million grant from the Department for Education, and the somewhat contentious sale of the school’s existing site on London Road for housing development.
