5 1. Executive introduction:

The Quintin Hogg Memorial Sports Ground, owned by the Quintin Hogg Trust (QHT) and the 6. To create a new landmark building on the Thames, part of the continual narrative Quintin Hogg Memorial Fund (QHMF), is a unique legacy to be preserved and maintained of boat houses and boating architecture providing modern facilities that are fit- for the benefit of students of the University of Westminster and young people within the for-purpose wider community. Through a programme of community engagement and a series of pre-application meetings Together the two Trusts have the ambition to create a centre of sporting excellence with Officers at the London Borough of Hounslow, we have shaped the project briefto for athletes of all abilities, with modern 21st century facilities, fit for purpose and fully provide facilities that both expand sporting uses on the site and will assure the continuation accessible to all. To achieve this, the Trusts are developing a comprehensive masterplan for of rowing from the site into the future. the whole site from the river to the railway. These proposals will grow the membership of QBC, invigorate the University Rowing Club, Phase 1 is the site to south of Hartington Road, home to the Quintin Boat Club (QBC) provide a permanent home for University Rugby and create a new modern sporting facility founded in 1907 to allow the ‘non gentlemen’ rowers of the Regent Street Polytechnic (now within the London Borough of Hounslow with opportunities for the Trusts to work with other the University of Westminster) to row at the Henley Regatta. education providers and sporting organisations to establish a wider outreach programme to young people across the community. This project is based on the founding principles of the two Trusts of effecting social change through education and sport for the betterment of the lives of University of Westminster Godfrey Cole students and young people across the community. Chairman of the Quintin Hogg Trust and the Quintin Hogg Memorial Fund Our professional team has considered the condition of the existing buildings on the site, studied the Club’s rowing year and the needs of the students of the University. Together with the Trustees it has been agreed that the following objectives would guide the project:

1. To create a centre of sporting excellence for the whole community welcoming athletes of all ages, but particularly young people, of all abilities – male and female and those with disabilities.

2. To revitalise rowing within the University and QBC

3. To re-introduce rugby to the site and create a home ground for University Rugby

4. To create a new outreach agenda across the community working with partner clubs, schools, the Local Authority and others to broaden the appeal of Rugby and Rowing to groups who do not currently have the opportunity to participate in either sport.

5. To continue the work of Quintin Hogg of improving life chances through sport (initially rowing and rugby) – nurturing talent with the possibility of scholarships to the best Universities – including Westminster.

For Quintin Hogg sport and religion played a key role in both academic success, physical and mental wellbeing through education. It was his love of sports that led him to purchase land at Merton in south west London in 1880 for the use of the Hanover Athletic Club, an amateur sporting association connected to the original Young Men’s Christian Institute.

These sports and playing fields were later given over to the students of the Polytechnic. This land was sold off by Quintin Hogg for development in 1902.The Polytechnic Athletics Club,which catered for all sporting disciplines from football to hockey, water polo and rowing, moved to the Paddington Recreation Ground sports fields, before the sudden and untimely death of Quintin Hogg at just 58 years old in 1903.

“Following his death an appeal was launched at the Poly to finance a sports ground in his memory and, three years after he was laid to rest, the Quintin Hogg Memorial Ground was opened in the West London suburb of Chiswick. The Memorial Ground was presented as a testament to the huge contribution of Quintin Hogg to the development of sports at the Polytechnic, and also a fitting tribute to his life’s work and his values.” Mark Clapson An Education in Sport

The Polytechnic Sports Ground at Chiswick was bought with the funds from this “crowd funding” effort by former students, graduates and past associates. Its location chosen to link with the existing Hanover Rowing Club, now the Polytechnic Rowing Club on the bend at Ibis, purchased by Quintin Hogg in 1888. His legacy was bequeathed to the Regent Street Polytechnic which became the University of Westminster in 1992.

The Quintin Hogg Trust owns the 6.7 acres of playing fields to the south of Hartington Lane. The Quintin Hogg Memorial Fund owns the Sports Ground north of Hartington Road, the Rowing club and the adjacent 0.9 acres.

The University of Westminster, and before it the Regent Street Polytechnic, has a glittering past in sporting achievement that spans the period from 1880 to 1976. The acquisition of the Memorial Sports Ground and the later development of the Polytechnic Stadium in 1938 led to a golden age of sport for the Poly.

Between the 1908 London Olympic Games held at Wembley, where 27 athletes from the Polytechnic Athletics Club took part, to the 1976 Munich games where Alan Pascoe won the 400m for team GB, over 155 Polytechnic Athletics Club members competed, and 44 medals were won.

The Polytechnic Athletics Club, the Polytechnic Rowing Club and the Quintin Boat Club co-ex- isted for over a century on the Polytechnic Sports Ground and the land south of Hartington Road. The achievements of the separate sports clubs over that period established the Poly- technic as central to UK sport, with the Stadium to the North being the home of UK athletics for over 35 years.

13 14 4.0 History of The Quintin Boat Club

The Rowing Club at Chiswick, the heart of this project, sits alongside Mortlake and Anglian Rowing Club, formerly Ibis Rowing club, which was once the boat house of Grove Park Manor, built 1850 (circa).

In 1888 Quintin Hogg purchased the land adjacent to the original wooden structure from the Duke of Devonshire’s estate at Chiswick House, and funded the opening of the Polytechnic boathouse on the River Thames.

“Hogg had paid for the construction of the boathouse, and also to have it stocked with rowing boats. Such generosity was rewarded with a flow of hurrahs and expressions of thanks.”

Mark Clapson, An Education in Sport

The opening of the boathouse in 1888 was one of the most celebrated events at the Poly, and in Victorian Rowing. In addition to members of the Polytechnic Rowing Club, participants from other clubs and societies went along to celebrate the inauguration of the boathouse, and to take in a fine day of rowing and sport. Many sportsmen and sportswomen also attended to catch a glimpse of some amateur competitors of the later Victorian years.

“The investiture of the boathouse saw boating races, amusing tub races, processions of illuminated boats as the sun set, fireworks, a military band and a concert. Opening ceremonies are usually opportunities to bring together old acquaintances and to demonstrate élite connections, and this ceremony was no exception. The reflection of the boathouse on the surface of the Thames was given an extra glint by the reflected glories of Eton and Oxbridge…”

Mark Clapson, An Education in Sport

At the heart of the establishment of the rowing club, was an act of subversion. The Polytechnic Rowing Club was in fact a merger/renaming of the Hanover Athletic Rowing Club, a more elite ex-Etonian group. The name Quintin would be a further 30 years in waiting, but all three were set up to allow rowing to be an “access for all” sport. The education and Christian principals of the Polytechnic extended to the River and Quintin Hogg’s love of rowing is clear from this commitment and investment.

Over the fullness of time the Polytechnic Rowing Club became a route to rowing at the highest level for those from less aristocratic and wealthy backgrounds.

Even on that opening day the mission of the club was clear in its key members:

“The fact that Robert Mitchell was on the podium with past members of the University is a powerful reminder of class-mixing in the ostensibly élite sport of rowing. Mitchell was from a skilled working-class background, and had been enthused by a Bible class held by Quintin Hogg in 1881, since when he had become a devout and hard-working member of the Institute.”

Mark Clapson An, Education in Sport

Over the next 40 years the club did all it could to row at Henley Royal Regatta, bending the institutions strictest class-based establishment rules, an institution that did all in its power to stop non-amateur rowers competing.

By non-amateur, this did not refer to the payment of rowers for rowing, but for their payment by any means other than private means, no artisan or clerk could work and row to the highest level.

Quintin Hogg and the Polytechnic Rowing Club set out to unpick this rule, creating a club within the Polytechnic Rowing Club specifically to gain entry to Henley.

Various possible names were considered, including Quintinian Rowing Club, but in October 1907 Polytechnic Boat Club formally changed its name to Quintin Boat Club. This was in honour of Quintin Hogg, who had died in 1903, poisoned by fumes from a gas heater whilst in the bath of his room at the Polytechnic.

Eventually in 1920 the club rowed at Henley and continues to do so each year. 2020 is the centenary anniversary of the first team to compete. This is a major factor in the project’’s timing.

Apart from extending the boathouse at the rear, most of the work was internal. One of the two large windows at opposite ends of the clubroom was bricked up and replaced by the present fireplace and chimney. The refurbished clubroom also incorporated a bar. 1951 The boathouse was formally reopened in August 1951. John Peters (one of Tom’s sons) won his first pot for Quintin, as a 12 year old cox. 1962 An annual eights race between Quintin and the University of London was instituted for the Canada Challenge Bowl.

The race has not been held for many years. 1964 Having represented Great Britain as a sculler in the European Championships in August, Bill Barry was brought into the coxless four for the Tokyo Olympics in October. The four won the silver medal.

21 J.M.W Turner’s River Thames from the North Bank; Kew Bridge and Grove Park 22 5.0 Existing Site and buildings The Boat House over time:

The existing site of QBC was purchased by Quintin Hogg in 1888 for the construction of a simple wooden boat house with a timber frame, much the same as the many boat houses that dot the river Thames from Greenwich to Henley and beyond. The Thames-Cam-Isis-Axis of clubs that could compete at Henley under the ARA rules all had boat houses, of a roughly similar nature. The original structure was destroyed by fire in the early 1900’s and rebuilt in 1920-4. The back half of the boat store was then destroyed by a German Incendiary in World War II and subsequently replaced in the 1950’s.

The larger site around the club, to the south of Hartington Road was purchased at sometime after 1888 and formed a large grass playing field for both football and rugby, this site has not been altered over time and has always lacked the facilities of the North site in terms of changing and storage.

Arranged over two storeys with a balcony on the river frontage for spectators; the boat house was symmetrically proportioned with a hipped roofline and large double height space containing a club or committee room.

There is no record of the interiors of this space, but it is safe to assume this was a social club for the rowers who had ventured west from the campus at Regent Street, a good hours carriage or horse ride away, however it is more likely that the club members would have travelled here by boat.

Boat storage at the time was limited to less than 10 or 20 boats which were larger and of timber construction.

The traditional timber construction of the first Boat House was sympathetic to the rural setting. By 1888 this was changing, the pastoral landscape can be seen in the few photographs of the time, and is perhaps best shown in the work of J.M.W Turner who painted the Thames at Kew Bridge just ½ a mile north of the site in 1805 (left) The scene shows Grove Park House further down river, and the smoke from the new railway at Chiswick Station.

The original boat house was replaced with an almost exact facsimile of the existing, a two- storey structure of the same proportions, but this time of brick and mortar.

The building is in fact a very modern structure using steel and concrete to create a light frame, with a considerable amount of glazing to the river frontage now allowing a fabulous vista of the bridge at Chiswick, which at the time had not been constructed, so the view was of the few houses and brewery on the opposite bank at Mortlake and across to the fields and trees to Richmond.

During the rebuild, the rear of the structure was enlarged, above a narrow boat house. The concrete frame was again, clad in brickwork, using Crittall style windows, modern at the time, for light in both. The upper storey of the rear was dedicated to changing rooms and a small flat, comprised a kitchen living room and two small bedrooms along a spine corridor parallel to the changing rooms and accessed from the bar, as well as an outside access stair and porch.

The design of the new boat house, while very much a copy of the general form of the former timber structure, is arts and crafts in nature, the brick work is expressive but simple, it is not a fussy building but has been built with generous spaces wrapped in a well-considered envelope of local red brick.

The balcony or veranda is timber framed on a concrete cantilevered base, and the painted wood work is domestic in scale, similar to that found on homes built at the same time aping the rustic style favoured on large country estates across the land in Edwardian period.

The Boathouse in 2017

25 The boat houses of Quintin, Mortlake (fromerly Ibis) and the existing Gym 26 5.0 Existing Site and buildings The historically significant QBC committee room was lit from all sides with large steel framed windows, wood panelled with a barrel vaulted ceiling under a slate roof. Commanding and club like, the space had a bar and a long table for rowing matters to be debated.

The committee room is still accessed from the veranda, itself accessed from the symmetrical stair which branches to access the flat. The room has purpose and feels both nostalgic and establishment. It is slightly forbidding, and while the walls are lined with memories of the interior clubs success, the victories are sometimes so long ago that new members cannot connect with them. The lack of young faces, new blades inscribed with the names of a victorious crew, or the prow of a winning boat from a recent Henley Royal Regatta is a symptom of the relative decline of the club since the 1980/90’s.

The chimney to the west of the room was added later, and replaced a large arched window echoing east gable which commanded a view up to Kew. The proximity of the Ibis Boat Club, now Mortlake & Anglian Boat Club, meant that window no longer had a river view and was replaced with a much need fire place in the 1930’s.

In terms of current condition, the boat house is in a very poor state of repair with many major elements at the end of their life, from structure to windows and the roof. In the front part of the building, all major windows are now rotting (some of these frames are no longer safe and are not fixed into the window opening securely) while the walls of the rear part of Above - the committee room in 1900 the block are of poor brickwork. The roof structure is too light to cope with self-loading and Below - the post war fire place (1930’s) Below - memories of QBC since 1888 is leaking badly in many areas.

The facilities are poor, with no lift access for those who are unable to walk or have impeded movement, There is a serious issue over gender and junior/senior split changing as well as a lack of storage. There is no accessible WC provision on the upper floors. The accessible WC on the ground floor is outdoor and has a step at the threshold.

The main roof to the front part of the building is original slate and is in fair order, but not thermally insulated. The brickwork walls and steps are in places deteriorating due to flooding which is historic. Since the opening of the Thames barrier the site has not flooded.

Finally there is a structural crack in the short elevation of the front building, which is being monitored and may require underpinning.

Overall the quality of the front portion of the building, the original pre-war boat club room and access, is excellent in design terms. It is of local merit and has landmark status on the river. The team have worked from the outset to treat this building as being of significant value architecturally and historically.

To be granted an opportunity to work on the River Thames is an honour for our practice, the The Amateur Rowing Association (ARA) was a deeply class based sporting elite. The call for this project was both unexpected and a source of pride and delight for the team at exclusion of the ordinary man was not unique to rowing, most sporting bodies were there AST*. exclusively for the wealthy and well educated to enjoy.

We had been established only a few months when we won this project in competition but For the time the educational and sporting vision of a man like Quintin Hogg was radical. He have worked together over the last decade as colleagues at larger practices. wanted to push down class barriers for both men and women and to deal with the issue head on. There is a timeless quality about the river at Mortlake, its historic pastoral landscape seems closer, feels stronger, than at other places on the river further downstream. A wealthy man with ideals and morals of the highest regard, he set out to subvert the rules and bring rowing to the young people who studied and prayed with him at the Polytechnic The mature trees along the banks, the open spaces and greenery of Dukes Meadow, the Rowing Club. Cemetery and Crematorium and the Polytechnic sports ground create a man made, but green landscape which seems timeless. The legacy of Quintin Hogg lives on in the institution of the University of Westminster, but to most who pass through the marble halls of 139 Regent Street, this seems a distant Formerly the grounds of both Chiswick House and Grove Park, the land that makes up the memory compared to the modern, multi-cultural, academic teaching establishment that Polytechnic sports ground has changed little in over a century, but its impact on rowing and the University has become. However it was exactly this outcome to which Quintin Hogg sport has been radical. dedicated his life.

The buildings and sports fields centred around the Arts and Crafts Boat House at Ibis Lane Here on the River Thames there is a moment frozen in time, rowing is a sport which has are from a confused historic period. changed little in its traditions or format since Edwardian times, it is close knit and welcoming as we found out. The end of a Victorian era, was the beginning of a more global world, but one held in the grip of European political strife, the slaughter of the Somme a recent memory. The terrors of The elite level of the sport is more open than it was, thanks to Quintin Hogg, whilst attainment the next World War were already on the horizon and would soon to take so many more lives. in sport is still linked closely to attainment in life as it has always been.

When the men of the Quintin Boat Club posed for those group photos (see illustration left) This project is about what a building can do, not just through its good design, but by means in 1905 it was in a time when class and gender were foremost in the minds of all social of its place in the social fabric of the city, how it will enable activity to flourish and how it groups. A time when one simply had a “place” in life that was prescribed by birth, wealth or can change lives. lack of it, and by class not by achievement.

37 Rowing; the application of power, geometry + balance 38 7.0 Design Statement

The design of the new facilities proposed here are aspirational and modern. They link closely to the part timbered boat sheds and ornamental boat houses of the river, and are deeply rooted in a modern vernacular with expressed structure, patterned decorative brick work and a roof clad in blackened timber on an elegantly finished concrete base.

The team are keenly aware of the nature of the area in planning terms, as protected metropolitan open land (MOL) the site is seen as being equal in standing to green belt and is part of the soft green cushion around London.

In terms of use and the development of the site for sport, the Polytechnic Sports Ground is critically located on the river. For both rowing and other sports it sits amidst a varied and developing sports district for London. The recent application and consent at Dukes Meadow (00503/B/S1) will bring further sporting investment which establishes the areas sporting credentials for the next 100 years.

The sport of rowing is about simplicity, weight and power. Geometry and physics play a role in the creation of the beautiful light weight skulling boats which glide across the water, razor sharp hulls pushing forward, oars cutting patterns in the surface as the boat moves. We have drawn influence from the boats, the rigging and from the rowers themselves, the patterns they create and their love of the light weight, but with muscular solidity in their human engines.

We are not building luxury or “show” facilities, instead each of the buildings is a simple utilitarian series of spaces connected to the sport they support;

• The Boat House extended over the existing boat store will be of charred timber over a pre-fabricated plywood SIPS panel on steel work structure.

• The Rugby and Boat House will both be of charred timber over a pre-fabricated plywood SIPS panel on exposed glu-lam structure. Interiors are exposed plywood and block work walls, details are simple and avoid fussiness.

• These new buildings are both specifically required to support the sporting efforts of their users, they are well proportioned, well executed and in their simplicity, they will be of the highest design quality.

The Application site Chiswick Bridge + Clifford Avenue 40 8.0 Planning Context/Constraints + opportunities

The Planning Statement prepared by Arthurs Planning and Development outlines the key The key influencing policy constraints outlined in the HLP upon the application have been site constraints. The detailed report is contained within the appendices. distilled into a number of key areas and include: The main governing principles are those expressed within both the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and Hounslow Local Plan Policies: - Metropolitan Open Land - Conservation Area In addressing the site’s constraints we have to consider the wider context in which it is - Grade II Listed Building (Chiswick Bridge) situated. The application site is entirely bounded within Metropolitan Open Land (MOL) - Thames Policy Area within the Thames Policy Area. This it also sits within the Grove Park Conservation Area - Advert Special Control Area and is opposite the Mortlake Conservation Area. Chiswick bridge adjoins the site on the south-eastern edge and is a listed structure. Accumulatively, these policy constraints defined the design boundaries and are outlined in greater detail within the Planning Statement. In August, a pre-planning consultation Set against the NPPF and Hounslow Local Plan, this unique context prompted a number explored the proposals in the context of these constraints and highlighted a number of of key drivers which have ultimately guided our architectural proposal and the wider key areas which influenced the final application submission detailed in this Design and landscape design. These key policy issues are focused on: improvement to existing sports Access Statement. and recreation provision; development in the MOL/Green Belt; design in the setting of listed buildings and conservation areas; sustainability; built development impact upon In summary the conclusions and recommendations from this were as follows: open space; new car parking provision, as well as access and road saftey, flood control, archaeology, landscape conservation, protection of trees/hedgerows/biodiversity or 1.

We have set out a diagrammatic breakdown of our design logic process in the following pages:

Existing context:

The new build blocks are set out to create a secure space between existing and proposed, a grouping of two new build forms harmonised with the existing extended boat house. 1 The footprint of each has been located over/near to the Demolition existing footprint of built form where possible and placed for ease of access from the highway, by pedestrians and remove rear part of QBC 1920 Boat House to maximise the width of the access route to the river, as remove 1920/25 Gym (tank) well as regain lost space behind the existing gym by moving remove 2005 Store Shed the new building closer to the boundary between the QHMF Empty pitch spaces (non sports use) and QHT ownerships.

The existing group TPO on Ibis lane is not affected, and is in fact enhanced with new tree planting. Trees/ landscape

The spaces between each building, are critical to the volumetric relationship of the existing to the proposed. The width of the space between the two Boat Houses will allow for better views through the site and enhanced functionally aiding users on a daily basis. 7 Turn 90 deg to pitch New buildings are placed to allow maximised spacing between each allowing landscaped buffers between break down wall activities. create grouping of built form gable to houses on Ibis lane - narrowest elevation The proposed removal of a single low quality TPO tree seating under cover overlooks pitch (see justification in landscape/arboricultural) allows the Thames path now part of development approach new build Boat House to be positioned to facilitate boat movements, and to make the new yard as wide as possible in order to function more effectively.

48 10.0 Concept Development: Layout

Function/Adjacency:

The Boat Houses at Ibis lane were located here because of the naturally occurring beach allowing easy access to the foreshore from the higher banks, and in the late Victorian period this would have been affected by tidal movement even more than today and as such access to the river was critical to the boat men.

The new boat store (as part of the new boat house) naturally sits closest to the river of the new buildings, with its short gable turned to face the water.

The building is positioned here to allow for the new boat bays to face the existing building, turned 90deg to open into a space between the two buildings created as a boat yard. The distance of separation is a little over 30m allowing for the careful movement of the larger VIII boats (which are over 20+m long) from their bay onto trestles located in the yard for rigging. The placement of this building also allows the beach access to be as wide as possible.

The Rugby Pavilion sited to the north of the yard and is fixed in position by the centre line of the pitch allowing the club room and integrated stand to be equally spaced from the two H posts. Its position to the north of, but in close proximity to, the new Boat House is in part due to the centre line, and in part due to the need for both buildings to create adjacencies and to allow for shared Gym and change facilities.

50 10.0 Concept Development: Massing + form

As we set out to develop a design for the group of buildings, the team considered the moments of a day in the life of a boat yard, placing ourselves into the lives of those who will use the facilities, the sports men and women, the coaches and the staff.

The facilities are practical and logically planned, while their spirit is clear in expressive detailing and careful material decoration.

Each has been created to define memories, to capture historic moments acting asa backdrop to sporting participation and success:

• The Boat House, seen from the river as part of the continuation of river side architecture, sitting as the third building of a triptych composed of Mortlake (formerly Isis) and Quintin. The open gable end positively terminates with an expressed glu-lam edge support, over a lattice of glu-lam sub-structure with translucent polycarbonate infill panels. This covers a small outdoor space connected to the “Ergo” cardio vascular rowing and cycle machine room, and orientation space for larger groups of young rowers. The veranda wrapping round the boat yard for spectators and family to observe and applaud.

• From the Boat Yard, the simple timber roof turns down to meet the concrete frame boat store below and a double height entrance porch draws users up to changing rooms and classrooms, through a plywood lined cut in the building, with expressed concrete walls at low level. Utilitarian benches, Wellington boot racks and pegs for rowers line the walls. The space is semi external and large-scale timber doors can close this off at night. A cold crisp morning in the half light of dawn as the rowers set out to the River.

• The Rugby Pavilion seen from the pitch cuts back dramatically to cover the seating, and create views up and down the touchline, seating is merged into the landscape allowing for formal and informal spectators. The new club room is double height overlooking the centre line, with a small bar and kitchen to serve the University Team and their visiting opponents after the match. This new building turns its gable to Ibis lane to minimise visual and noise impact on neighbours.

51 10.0 Concept Development - Continuity

The boat houses of the Thames stretch from the banks at Henley and Marlow, to the East End at Greenwich. There is no set vernacular for a boat house, but they were typically wooden framed, like the boats, and set on the bank with a good access to the water.

The pages here show the variety of styles and periods reflected in the boat house genre over the 4 miles from St Pauls School RC Putney Bridge to Chiswick, a very significant stretch of the river for Rowers. Cygnet/Civil Service RC + Furnival RC Emanuel School RC

The River Thames is home to dozens of Boat Clubs, each with their own cultural and social narrative, from the elite schools to the working tradesmens clubs, it was British Rowing HQ common once for banks, insurance brokers and even the civil service to have a rowing club with a small boat house on the Thames.

The highlight of the rowing year is of course the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race, at present sponsored by Mellon Investments and gifted each year to the charity Cancer Research, The race runs from Putney to Chiswick Bridge and each year the spectacle of the race ends on the beach at Quintin, with the twin clubs of Mortlake and Quintin acting as back ground to the whole event.

The provision of new facilites here at Quintin, where over the last decades the BBC have set up home, will ensure that the high profile global audience will see, and learn about the work that will be undertaken here at QBC by the QHT/QHMF and the London RC University of Westminster.

Visual Impact on Protected Metropolitian Open Land

Visual impact has been a key aspect of the design process, and the team are grateful to the LBH Planning officers for their assistance with the views and massing as a result.

The plan

To create a centre of sporting excellence for the whole community welcoming athletes of all ages, but particularly young people, of all abilities – male and female and those with disabilities.

To create a new landmark building on the Thames, part of the continual narrative of boat houses and boating architecture providing modern facilities that are fit- for-purpose form was arrived at following a process of Aerial View West - pre-app 003 diagram studies, each evolving from the last, to create a broken footprint, maximise gaps between buildings to create views through to the TPO tree group beyond and to create a sense of unfolding in the view from Chiswick Bridge in particular.

Aerial View South (Chiswick Bridge) - pre-app 003

54 10.0 Concept Development

Breaking down massing

The massing of the scheme has been carefully considered in alignment with the Townscape Visual Impact Assessment carried out by Urban Green. The views selected were checked with the LBH Planning officers and subsequently used by AST* to develop their approach.

The apex gable block was originally designed to be a single building that ran from the QHT site south to the river presenting a long elevation to the pitch and short to the river. The more efficient form was deemed too long, and too “wall like” blocking views across to the tree grouping on Ibis Lane. The development would have been too intrusive on the views across the site.

As such the block is split and rotated 90deg to sit perpendicular to the pitch, the accommodation is the same and the massing the same. (see pre app Aerial View West - revised proposal documents as submitted)

Following comments from the planning officers at LBH changes were made to the massing to reduce the form and to come into alignment with the heritage and design officers comments.

The final form is lighter in structure with fewer solid panels in the end gables, more open lattice and increased space between the buildings.

Aerial View South (Chiswick Bridge) - revised proposal

55 10.0 Concept Development

Scale

The scale of the existing structure is used as an envelope guide for the new extended boat house and changing areas on first floor. The height and volume of the existing is echoed by the new build extension to the rear (north) of the Boat House, with a cross section based on the pitch of the A frame of the new Boat House and Rugby Pavilion, which in turn share the same section detail allowing for repetition of the key super structure and cladding details.

The forms are apex gables and echo the Boat Houses of the River Thames from Greenwich to Henley-on-thames, steep sided roof section creates a modern interpretation of a traditional form. The roof dominates the massing, sitting lightly on its base of exposed in-situ concrete wrapped in brick where thermally required.

Aerial View East (crossing Clifford Ave / Hartington Road) - pre-app 003

View from Junction Clifford Ave / Hartington Road - pre-app 003 56 10.0 Concept Development

Function/Adjacency:

The limited footprint means that space is at a premium. Given that the site is adjacent to a Conservation area, and forms the North Bank setting of a listed structure (Chiswick Bridge) as well we being in protected metropolitan open land we are limited in the area we can cover with built form, and activity.

The decision to go to two storeys was not taken lightly but with a target uplift in boat capacity of circa 150% over all and a footprint of over 1000sqm already in that one space. The key to creating a successful facility is the provision of distinct gender/age separate changing rooms in both QBC and the new Boat House. This requirement generates significant area and is accommodated in the upper volume.

The ancillary classrooms and exercise/indoor rowing space are then served by “super loos” and a storage Aerial View East (crossing Clifford Ave / Hartington Road) - revised proposal space for equipment and furniture to offer total flexibility,

User/Sports:

The decision to go up to two storeys on the Rugby Pavilion was made in order to make best use of the upper floor and bunded grass mound link created by using on site spoil from the 3G pitch. The upper floor is given over to a club room to create a new home for the University Sports teams who use the facility, whilst giving students and users to a cardio facility gym and weights room.

View from Junction Clifford Ave / Hartington Road - revised proposal 57 10.0 Concept Development

The unfolding view across the River Thames to the application site from Chiswick Bridge is of considerable importance to the setting of the Grade II listed structure. When the team met with planning officers and design/ heritage officers over the course of the spring and summer the views were discussed and agreed (primarily for the TVIA) and these images were created to demonstrate the massing in context.

The images to the left are from Pre App 003 on 27th June 2018 and then amended in Pre App 004 on the 1st August 2018.

82 10.0 Concept Development

Throughout the design process we have used three dimensional models to explore both the massing and the form of the building. Using digital printed technology we can prototype the blocks and have developed multiple options for both the section and end details of the forms, as well as different roof profiles as alternative internal functions were considered.

Detailed model development.

83 10.0 Concept Development

The complete bay structure, concrete base with upper parts in timber, The SIPS roof and charred timber cladding are used to stiffen structure

84 10.0 Concept Development

The two new buildings share a common structural logic, with a concrete ground floor frame, exposed on the boat house as it is not thermally controlled, brick clad on the rugby pavilion where the changing rooms are located in a thermally controlled ground floor area.

The concrete frame then supports, by means of shaped upper floor columns, a frame work of glu-lam beams which create X frames crossing from grid line to grid line at 45deg supporting a secondary light weight timber roof.

The upper floors are then stiffened using a SIPS plywood panel system, sealed and then covered with rainscreen of charred black timbers.

These timbers require little ongoing maintenance and will be off set/hit and miss to create screening offering a varied level of “free area” over plant areas.

The whole bay is then repeated on each building with a “special” bay at the end overlooking the Thames and the 3G pitch which are clad not in timber but in polycarbonate panels allowing diffuse lighting of the terraces underneath for spectators.

The repetition is both cost effective, and reduces time on site as the elements can be prefabricated using modern methods of construction to fabricate off site SIPS (Structural Insulated Panel System) and to then pre- The complete bay is then repeated to reduce costs and time on site install certain MEP items/trunking. This controls quality and reduces site time.

The Boat House at dawn, as the student team at University of Westminster set out for a training session on the river. 102 15.0 Detail Design Proposals: New Boat House The entrance space to the Boat House is a double height space, accessed via a pair of double height doors, with a small “submarine” pass door.

The entrance aligns with the steps and podium of the historic QBC, and is framed with an exposed concrete arch. The internal space is simple exposed concrete up to first floor level where the upper parts are lined in plywood.

A stair sits along the wall, and at the back of the space is an accessible lift in a cage (to allow heavy lifting of gym/rowing machines to the first floor.

The space behind the stair is lined with a bench, under which metal grills support wellington boots with drying racks and hooks allowing for schools/partners to hang class rowing kit for use by others. Oars are stored here on wall mounted clips.

The Boat store to the lower level is designed to allow maximum racking and will be subdivided by users with chain link fencing strung to the u/s of the first floor.

105 15.a Artist Impression: Rugby Pavilion

An evening Rugby match is underway with loyal University of Westminster Dragons fans gathered on the terraces. 106 15.0 Detail Design Proposals: Rugby Pavilion Site Axonometric looking westwards from the rugby pitch.

Orientated at 90 degrees to the boat houses; the Rugby pavillion adopts a prominent position sitting central to the main pitch. A set of terraced steps blends into a landscaped grass bund which rises gradually from the existing landscape creating a seamless relationship and interface with the terrace and clubroom.

The building adopts the same form as the new boat club but varies slightly in its lattice canopy - which projects out over the viewing terraces affording greater protection from the elements to spectators.

Pedestrians (users) Pedestrians (non users) We have worked with both our partners (QBC School use (security/safeguarding) and University of Westminster) to develop an Mixed age/gender balance changing approach and with ATIS Sports Management Non Binary gender needs who have advised on the future FM needs of Club membership space the facility. Vehicles on and off site Parking The team also undertook research visiting Cyclists the state-of-the-art rowing and rugby club Maintenance facilities across the UK; including the boat Cleaning and FM houses at Oxford University, Imperial College, Security Mortlake and Anglian, Tideway Scullers and DDA Access Leander as well as Saracens Rugby Club, Diagram 1a - route of PROW and ROA Uppingham School Sports Facilities and Also of note are: Surrey University Sports Campus. Diagram 1a - controlled access to foreshore Event scenarios The diagrams here set out the way that the BBC TV for The Boat Race buildings can be used, maintained, accessed and serviced.

There is a balance between the use of the site by the wider community and “public access” to the river and to the facilities

The boat yard and 3G pitch are not public, and they cannot be left open 24hrs a day. Locked gate access As such security lines and boundary design Permited route play a considerable part in this project. (occasional)

Parking + Bike storage a Vehicle parking

Parking is provided for 44 cars 3 bays are given over to disabled parking and spaces designed to allow access and egress from the site as easily as possible. 9 bays are powered for the future installation of charging points. 10 motorcycle bays are provided (see diagram 2a) b Visitor parking

On match and event days there will be a need for overspill parking, with our calculations delivering a need for 60-70 cars overall. The scheme allows for on site parking for 100 vehicles in total with around 56 on overspill grass (reinforced with either grasscrete or plastic grass mesh) which allows for events where larger numbers of spectators will be arriving.

The day to day operation of the site will have fairly low vehicle numbers and as such permanent parking is allowed/provided with space for visitors as indicated in 2a. (see diagram 2a) c Bike Parking (Secure + Visitor)

Long stay cycles are stored in a secure lockable “lean to” shed as part of the perimeter wall adjacent to the refuse store, this is in addition to visitor cycle hoops adjacent to the Rugby Pavilion and Boat House. The total bike parking allocation is - 20secure (covered long term) and 46 open air on hoops. (see diagram 2b) Diagram 2a - Parking Diagram 2b - Parking 120 Strategy in use

d Trailer + Minibus Parking

Space is provided for 2 x boat trailers and 1 x trailer behind the existing and proposed Boat Houses within the enclosed secure line. (See diagram 2c).

b Boat trailer turn

Of note is the requirement to bring a large mini bus onto the site with a trailer loaded with boats (up to 7m long on the trailer) and to be able to safely move this trailer to unload and park up. The access and route to the boat yard is designed to allow this movement (see diagram 2c)

e Launch Storage

There is a single space for the storage of the clubs long launch mounted on wall brackets from the concrete piers and covered by a light weight roof/canopy. (See diagram 2c).

f Boat Storage

Finally the scheme has been designed around the accommodation needs of a series of partner schools, as well as QBC and the University of Westminster Rowing and Rugby clubs. The storage of boats is critical and in consultation with our future partners a target storage capacity was developed to allow for the maximum number of boats to generate “down time” which can then be traded for “rowing time” available to other schools/local community/Youth Schemes/Apprentices/ college and UTC/FE students as well as other LBH schools where free time is created with the support of QBC and Partner school Diagram 2c - Boat Storage + Boat Trailer movement coaching. (See diagram 2c). 121 Strategy in use 20 Access + Servicing a New Road Junction

A new road junction is created with an adoptable standard access/egress onto Hartington Road. This has been designed in accordance with adoptable standards in line with comment from the Highways team at LBH. (see diagram 3a) b Service road/turning head

The site service road will be shared surface and built to adoptable standards, capable of carrying both coaches and the BBC heavy equipment vehicles. The road will have generous pavements as integral surfaces and will access both the parking and the overspill grass area to the north. The road is designed to allow turning at both the north end and south using one parking spine. (see diagram 3a) c Refuse collection

Refuse collection will be as currently managed from storage built into the perimeter wall of the Boat Yard and accessed from the Ibis Lane gates which are then closed and locked allowing refuse and emergency vehicles a tuning area on Ibis Lane that is not currently provided. (see diagram 3b)

Diagram 3a - Access Road + Turning Head Diagram 3b - Refuse Route 122 Strategy in use 21 Maintenance/FM

Maintenance of the site will be managed by on site FM team and the design allows for such access as follows:

a Rugby club

Maintenance access to Northwest/ Northeast/Southwest façades and roof access via extend-able lifting platform. A hard standing route is provided.

From the pitch side (Southeast) a Mobile Elevated Working Platform (MEWP) on the 3G pitch will be used to access high level windows and the canopy.

Cleaning of all windows by extend-able pole and from terrace.

b Boat House (New build)

Maintenance access to Northwest/ Northeast/Southeast façades and roof access via extendible lifting platform. A hard standing route is provided. From the river side (Southwest) a MEWP on the river grass area will be used to access high level windows and the canopy. A hard standing route is provided.
