EARLS COURT PLANNING SUBMITTED

ACME is proud to be part of The Earls Court Development Company design team and celebrates this planning validation milestone with the entire team. 

    Earls Court has a long history as a place of discovery, adventure, and performance. ACME has been entrusted to design illustrative workspace buildings in the masterplan, including the main commercial building at the heart of the scheme and the iconic entrance gateway facing Earls Court tube station.

    We have worked intensively with SLA to create green buildings within a green urban landscape, with generous outside terraces and a new public space inspired by the remnants of the old Art Deco steps of the original building apron. 

    While the original Earls Court building has disappeared, the new buildings are designed to celebrate the memory of its cultural performances on their facades. We are excited to see our buildings and their role within the broader context of the masterplan. We look forward to working with The Earls Court Development Company to deliver a fitting new entrance into the masterplan and outstanding workspaces for Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

    Mamsha Gardens draws inspiration from the natural surroundings of the island and boasts signature landscaped gardens in which residents can relax and unwind. The gardens will feature water-efficient irrigation systems and a selection of native plant species, ensuring that the landscape thrives with minimal resource consumption.

    The development features seven residential buildings comprising 493 homes thoughtfully designed with premium finishes and fittings. The development features a range of amenities, including two centrally located pavilions with gyms, yoga, Pilates and meditation rooms, as well as swimming pools, kids’ play areas, a multi-use games area, underground parking, bike storage, and residents’ lounges with workspaces and lounge seating. 

    Mamsha Gardens will also include restaurants with outdoor dining terraces and shops, as well as a community theatre and separate retail underground parking. The locations of each of these spaces have been strategically designed to attract foot traffic and provide a vibrant social space while affording residents the utmost privacy.

    In line with Aldar’s goals to promote sustainable living and building practices, the development is targeting a 3 Pearl Estidama rating and a 3-star rating from Fitwel - the world’s leading certification system for optimising building health and wellness outcomes. 50% of both retail and residential parking will be EV ready, and residents will have several pedestrian routes to explore.
