Taking inspiration from the first towers in New
York and Chicago, our brief was to create a
classic piece of architecture that instils a sense
of heritage. We carefully studied the way in
which those towers from the 1930’s through to
the 60’s were designed, taking taking particular
note of the form and style.

For many, a choice to buy, to rent, to invest,
to live. A lifestyle choice throughout the
neighbourhood of villages and sky.
An opportunity not to be missed, to invest in what
will be one of the UK’s most carefully crafted and
considered investment opportunities.
On completion, Allied London’s St. John’s
neighbourhood will include three new hotels,
some 2,500 residential dwellings, four cultural
destinations, restaurants, retail stores, cafés,
and 420,000 sq ft of innovative enterprise
workspaces. Allied London is already engaging
with occupiers and operators in all of these
sectors and anticipates a significant number
having been secured by the time phased
construction is due to start in 2017. In addition,
St. John’s will be home to Factory. A £110m
cultural building for the North including classical
opera and ballet to large-scale performances and
experimental productions.

Residents of The Tower at St. John’s Place are
provided with high quality, luxurious communal
gardens, which are secure and private. They are
sheltered by a three storey high overhang in the
building and are designed as a series of outdoor
rooms. The space is unified through the strips of
planting that run through and create a connection
to the public space beyond. The soft landscape is
carefully considered and will be managed.
Proposed high quality public realm and pedestrian
friendly, traffic calmed access routes around the
site will provide safe and convenient links to the
surrounding areas. Potential users and visitors,
regardless of age, gender or any disabilities are
able to access and navigate unimpeded through all
appropriate areas of each building and surrounding
public realm.
The internal building environment can be
successfully and safely used by all of the potential
users of the building. Every opportunity will be
taken to utilise colour, textures, materials and
treatment of space to assist with the overall
legibility and aesthetic value of the building.
The setting out of the building levels has been
dictated by the existing pavement levels. With
this in mind the design ensures that all primary
entrances can be accessed from flat and level
approaches.
A secure car parking facility is available for
residents to use. Residents can pay on an annual
basis to use this facility.
Cycling is promoted as part of the St. John’s
masterplan strategy. A proposed cycle hub facility
will offer cycle parking, lockers and changing
facilities for visitors and those not allocated a cycle
parking space. It will also offer a cycle hire facility
on a short and long term hire basis.

The approach which has informed the energy
strategy of the proposed development has been to
reduce demand where possible before
considering how best to supply it. This means first
identifying where energy demand can be eliminated
and then how it can be used more efficiently.
Residential areas will look to achieve at least a 19%
reduction over current standards.
Renewable energy on site is proposed to be
provided by the district CHP system provided as
part of the wider St. John’s masterplan, with heating,
hot water and electricity all provided via this low
carbon source. The renewable energy strategy has
been arrived at as part of a greater masterplanning
exercise, which has considered all forms of
renewable energy suitable for the site.
At least 25% of the final building energy demand
will be met by these low or zero carbon energy
sources.
A separate waste and servicing strategy has been
developed which provides full details of the
proposed strategy.
Three laybys are proposed along Water Street
for delivery vehicles to pull up. It is expected
that deliveries will be coordinated with the other
developments in St. John’s, helping to limit the
overall number of vehicles travelling to the site.
Refuse stores are located at basement levels and
dedicated service lifts will be used to transport
the bins to street level on collection days. A refuse
chute with an automatic bi separator to segregate
waste and recycling is proposed within The Tower.
This will be accessible at every floor and simple
controls will enable residents to easily identify the
required waste stream.
The management company for St. John’s Place
will oversee waste collection and ensure that bins
are taken to the loading bay prior to arrival of the
waste collection operator and returned to storage
immediately afterwards. Zone 1 and 2 will require
two refuse collections per week and zone 3 and 4
can operate with a single weekly collection.
