The proposals are for a bespoke mixed-use studentresidential and light industrial development that will create a high-quality marker building, public realm and ground floor environment. The design will respond to the fascinating local context, to procure a singular building that contributes strongly to this area of Greenwich and also London as a whole.
Located in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, along Deptford Creek, Ravensbourne Wharf is a new mixed-use student housing scheme designed for YourTRIBE and Aitch Group. Positioned between multiple universities and colleges, the 27-storey tower addresses the high demand for student housing in the area.
The design brief for Ravensbourne Wharf emphasises predominantly en-suite accommodation with cluster kitchens, alongside studios and shared amenity spaces. Shared spaces like lounges, study areas, and rooftop gardens are integral to enhancing student life and building a strong community atmosphere.
The site of Ravensbourne Wharf is constrained on all borders: a working wharf to the north, residential housing to the south and Deptford Creek to the west. Through sensitive design, these complexities are managed effectively. Consultation with the Port of London Authority and Environmental Agency have helped inform the developments relationship to the context. The Royal Borough of Greenwich’s aspiration for a improved footway along Norman Road led to a design adjustment, setting the building back to provide more space for pedestrian use.
