​Chapman Taylor leading on façade detailing of London's Keybridge development

Chapman Taylor is coordinating the detailed façade design for two buildings at the Keybridge residential development in central London, including the 37-storey Keybridge Lofts - the UK's tallest residential brick building.

Keybridge is being developed by Mount Anvil and FABRICA by A2Dominion as a standout landmark in London’s rapidly evolving Vauxhall district. The project includes eight-storey Keybridge House, 21-storey Keybridge Capital and Keybridge Lofts, the latter two of which Chapman Taylor is working on. Using mixed brick tones and textures, each building at Keybridge has a distinctive character designed to improve over time.

Chapman Taylor was appointed by Mount Anvil to provide specialist detailed design expertise for the external envelope of the two towers, which are formed from a combination of traditional brickwork and prefabricated unitised façade panels.

We have led the co-ordination of the façade design through the delivery stages on site, working closely with the specialist trade contractors and consultants to realise the client’s vision for the scheme.

We developed a full 3D BIM model for the façade elements to assist in the detailed design of the complex façade systems and also used 3D detail call-outs to aid installation of the works on site.

We are delighted to see the façade works nearing completion and we look forward to seeing the scheme handed over to residents in the near future.
