The creation of good quality amenity space has been central to the development of the design solution. The scheme provides private amenity space for the vast majority of the private residential units whilst also providing additional landscaped areas to the roof terraces of both buildings.

The intention was that the ground floor would be as active as possible and this is achieved through the placement of the retail and entry into the residential and commercial accommodation above. The building envelope comprises innovative off-site manufactured modular facade elements, which have considerably improved the speed and safety of construction. John Fitzgerald, Group Managing Director at Telford Homes commented:  Image Courtesy © Stockwool  Image Courtesy © Stockwool “Stratosphere is a distinctive new addition to the evolving Stratford skyline, an evolution we are very proud to be leading. The striking design by Allies and Morrison has been expertly and faithfully brought to life by Stockwool and ultimately offers the local community two new high quality residential buildings.” Derek Jay, Partner at Stockwool commented: “Stockwool worked closely with Telford Homes to deliver this high quality development, with particular emphasis on developing appropriate solutions for the construction of the contrasting façade treatments for the two buildings. We are very proud of the delivered scheme.”  Image Courtesy © Stockwool  Image Courtesy © Stockwool  Image Courtesy © Stockwool  Image Courtesy © Stockwool  Image Courtesy © Stockwool  Image Courtesy © Stockwool  Image Courtesy © Stockwool  Image Courtesy © Stockwool  Image Courtesy © Stockwool  Image Courtesy © Stockwool  Image Courtesy © Stockwool  Image Courtesy © Stockwool  Image Courtesy © Stockwool  Image Courtesy © Stockwool
