Introduction

Charlie Ratchford Court, located on Crogsland Road, NW1, stands as a modern symbol in Camden, housing 38 state-of-the-art extra care apartments. This six-storey structure reflects a balance between contemporary design and Camden's rich historical ambiance. Our notable contributions include the installation of cladding, SFS (Structural Framing System), and coping, adding both to its visual appeal and functional robustness

Quality & Detailed Features

Our involvement with Charlie Ratchford Court was intensive and detail-oriented:

  • Cladding: We supplied and installed the exterior cladding, chosen to complement the surrounding architecture while ensuring robust weather protection and aesthetic appeal.
  • SFS (Structural Framing System): The installation of the SFS was crucial to the structural integrity of the building. Our team ensured that this lightweight, yet sturdy, system was impeccably integrated, offering a robust framework that supports the building's exterior and its insulative properties.
  • Coping: Serving as the finishing touch, we installed coping to protect the upper masonry or parapet wall. This not only enhances the building's visual appeal but also directs rainwater away, reducing wear and tear.

Designed by PRP architects and executed by Vistry Ventures, every element of Charlie Ratchford Court is a blend of functionality and beauty. The apartments, communal areas, and amenities are set against a backdrop of brick design that resonates with the Victorian vibe of the locality.

Recognitions include:

  • Shortlisted: Completed Award - Housing Design Awards 2022
  • Nominated: Later Living/Supported Living Design of the Year - British Home Awards 2022
  • Nominated: Best Older People’s Housing Development, Urban - Inside Housing Development Awards 2022
  • Shortlisted: Healthcare category - New London Awards 2022

Its strategic location near Chalk Farm station and its pioneering role in providing extra care housing in Camden further accentuate its significance.
