BLOCK D, RESERVOIR EDGE
Completing the waterfront
Block D sits on the edge of the Welsh Harp reservoir, defining the north-eastern edge of the Hendon Waterside regeneration development. Composed of eight buildings grouped in two clusters: D1-4 designed by Hutchinson & Partners and D5-8 by Makower Architects, the block masses work together with contrasting scales and a varying roof line to create visual interest and respond to their proximity to the reservoir. Each of the clusters have a tall building completing the Hendon skyline; D4, being the tallest in the masterplan, features 29-storeys of residential accommodation, while the second tallest, D5, steps down to harmonise with the lower surrounding context.
Both D5 (left) and D4 (second left) share a similar design language with the now-completed E2 and K2 towers (right), contributing to a distinctive and cohesive waterfront character
