360° Barking, London - NU living & AEG / Electrolux
Electrolux Group Kitchen Design Projects
A global team of experts creating innovative and intuitive design experiences that shape living for the better.
360° Barking - a state-of-the-art development of four interlinked residential towers - has helped to transform the face of Barking in East London, by creating distinctive cylindrical shaped blocks of modern, stylish private apartments, in keeping with the up-and-coming district.
Transforming a long-vacant site in Barking Town Centre, 360° Barking is a central scheme in the Barking Housing Zone regeneration. Developed by Swan Housing Association in partnership with the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham (LBBD) and the Mayor of London (providing ￡29.1 million in Housing Zone funding).
The scheme has delivered 291 residential homes, of which 96 were affordable, with priority for local residents. It offers a high percentage of Shared Ownership units (33%), helping young professionals and families alike to get on the property ladder.
Designed by Studio Egret West and built by Swan’s in-house developer, NU living, the contemporary one and two bedroom apartments are fully accessible with lifts to every floor, including their roof gardens. And Canary Wharf, the Shard, the Gherkin, the Cheese Grater and the London Eye are all visible from the higher apartments and beautiful communal garden roof terraces.
This striking development is a community asset that has already been recognised for its design excellence.
'Barcelona-on-Thames'
The new urbanisation at Barking Riverside, has been dubbed ‘Barcelona-on-Thames’ and 360° Barking has played a significant part in shaping the landscape. With a master plan to build 10,000 new homes in Barking over the next 15 years, endorsed by the Mayor of London, 360° Barking has set the standard high for future developments.
All the apartments boast a range of high-specification features. From the underfloor heating system (meaning no unsightly radiators), to the audio-visual door entry system, chrome effect electrical sockets and switches, low down lights and low-energy, wall-mounted balcony/ terrace lighting.
They are fitted with a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) energy system for heating and hot water, which can generate electricity to power the building, as well as PV solar panels on the roof, making them energy-efficient and sustainable.
A concierge service – whereby there is always someone on hand to accept deliveries and welcome visitors – offers convenience and ensures the safety of residents as does the CCTV and audio-visual door entry system.
