Three elegant residential buildings, completing the Brentford Community Stadium masterplan

Recognising the wider site’s masterplan aspirations to deliver a sustainable and long-term future for Brentford Football Club, Capital Court consists of three residential buildings between 9 and 14 storeys, providing 253 new homes.

The vision for the area seeks to maximise frontages onto Capital Interchange Way and create a sequence of well-connected yet distinct spaces that will assist in the wayfinding for match-day supporters, allowing spectators to get to and from the stadium easily. The proposals also deliver flexible office and commercial space and high-quality public realm that provides a welcoming, legible landscape for residents and visitors alike.

The proposed buildings and each residential area will have a defined character and spirit with homes offered in a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom properties.

Extensive play facilities, barbecue and seating areas, grassed lawns and planting create a setting for the residential buildings and to provide a range of spaces of differing sizes and scales, for passive and active recreation by residents and high-quality living.

The off-site manufactured construction process used brick-faced insulated concrete sandwich panels, which delivered significant benefits compared to traditional construction techniques. The construction period on site was reduced by nearly 30%, leading to less inconvenience for surrounding residents and businesses including the adjacent Kew House School.

With considered use of colour, brickwork and distribution of openings, the massing of the residential buildings have been designed to identify with the strong lines of the adjacent stadium to maintain a cohesive appearance and connect the buildings together into a single architectural composition.
