Merano Residences

Vauxhall

A mixed-use development in the London Borough of Lambeth situated on the southern stretch of Albert Embankment, opposite the Tate Britain. The redevelopment of the site, originally occupied by the 1960s office building Eastbury House, delivered 40 private apartments over 27 storeys on a very constrained site between the railway viaduct and the Embankment.

EPR worked in collaboration with Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners to deliver their consented scheme design. The primary steel and concrete elements of the building are expressed with the three vertical elements of the scheme identified by differently coloured steel balconies.

One third of the building’s footprint is allocated to public space in the form of a four-storey plaza. The plaza has been designed to complement the height of the adjacent Rose Pub and features three levels of workplace above ground and a ground-floor café with mezzanine floor.
