Morden Wharf’s housing design
includes approximately 1,500 residences,
35% of which will be deemed as affordable
and many will be developed for families.
Details about their materiality are yet to
be disclosed, though the homes will be
contained in towers with green facades to
“provide natural screening and improve air
quality”. The creative workspaces will be
housed in buildings with a more industrial
aesthetic. Proposed construction dates
for the scheme are yet to be revealed, but
plans were submitted for approval in June
2020.
As part of the project, Carmody
Groarke has also designed a boathouse
on an existing jetty, which is intended as a
permanent mooring spot for Gloriana, the
Queen’s Rowbarge.
