Richmond Riverside

This is a large development of offices, flats, shops, two restaurants, community facilities, underground carparks, an urban square and riverside gardens and incorporates two listed buildings. It exhibits the richness of English 18^th century architecture using a wide pallet of traditional materials, and all of the 5 architectural orders. It draws inspiration from the work of Palladio, Longhena, Sansovino, Hawksmoor, William Chambers and the Gothic Revival of the 19^th century.

After 35 years the development is still very popular with locals and visitors and has mellowed and improved with age (unlike most 1980’s developments) which is testimony to its robust solid wall construction and human scale.
