Foster + Partners Unveils Two New Residential Towers in London's King's Road Park Master PlanSave this picture!Kings Road Park, Fulham. Image Foster + PartnersPhase four of the King's Road Park masterplan, designed by Foster + Partners for St William, has received detailed planning permission. The design, located in the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham, comprises two residential towers of 28 and 38 stories, a seven-story podium building, and 1.9 acres of new parkland and public open space, totaling 357 new homes. The residential buildings incorporate communal spaces, including a ground-level amenity and a rooftop garden sheltered by a louvered canopy. The towers' slender profiles are intended to complement the existing urban skyline, featuring terracotta paneling in a nod to local architectural styles.Save this picture!A key element of the design is its focus on maximizing natural light and improving connectivity. By reducing the number of towers from three to two and enlarging the floorplates, the development increases daylight penetration into the park by 59 percent. The increased distance between the towers expands the park's area, strengthening pedestrian links between King's Road and Imperial Wharf station.Save this picture!The landscape design, created by Gillespies in collaboration with Foster + Partners, features a community park, public square, children's play areas, and natural habitats aimed at fostering biodiversity. This contributes to the larger six-acre open landscape planned for King's Road Park, which is projected to achieve a 112 percent biodiversity net gain. The apartments themselves are dual-aspect, providing natural light and offering views of both the park and the wider London cityscape.
