_How Hurlingham Waterfront development is setting new standards for sustainable luxury living

In South London’s Hurlingham, a new luxury residential development is making waves. Hurlingham Waterfront is not only raising the bar on premium riverside living, but the scheme also stands out for its commitment to sustainability without compromising comfort.

Developed by Rockwell, Hurlingham Waterfront comprises 269 studio to 4 bedroom design-led apartments for sale through Knight Frank. But Hurlingham is not just a sought-after address; it's a testament to the future of eco-conscious living.

Situated in an expansive Thames-side location in the sought-after SW6 postcode, the 3.2-acre development sets impressive standards for sustainable luxury, catering to those who are keen to embrace a greener and more environmentally responsible lifestyle.

At the core of Rockwell's vision for Hurlingham Waterfront is a profound commitment to environmental stewardship. By carefully integrating new life, generous green spaces and a diverse range of new homes, the development strikes a wonderful balance between luxury and sustainability.

A sustainable oasis on the riverside

Biodiversity takes centre stage at Hurlingham Waterfront, both in its resident-only and public-facing areas. The regeneration of the river frontage and the introduction of landscaped boulevards enhance the public areas, creating an inviting space for residents to unwind and connect with nature.

The planting of trees, hedging and incorporating thoughtfully designed gardens and play spaces will enrich the surrounding neighbourhood and breathe new life into the area.

Residents of Hurlingham Waterfront enjoy access to Herland Gardens, a pretty and serene courtyard reminiscent of the traditional London squares that have long provided tranquil green spaces throughout the city. The abundance of trees, lush plantings and secluded areas creates a serene retreat for residents within the bustling city.

Homes with a greener view

Elsewhere, biodiverse roofs have been strategically implemented across the development. The effect not only enhances the visual appeal of the apartments but also supports local wildlife by offering a healthy habitat. Bat and bird nesting boxes provide additional habitats for local species, contributing to the City of London Biodiversity Action Plan.

Sustainability goes hand in hand with climate considerations at Hurlingham Waterfront. Microclimate studies have informed the landscaping design and creation of roof terraces, ensuring comfort for residents and a harmonious blend of nature and urban living throughout the development.

To address long-term flood risks, the scheme has increased the height of the river wall, creating a robust defense barrier.

Energy efficiency: embracing renewable solutions

Energy efficiency has also been a key consideration at Hurlingham Waterfront. Renewable energy sources, such as air-source heat pumps, provide heating and cooling without the need for combustion appliances, significantly reducing environmental impact.

The homes themselves feature mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, minimising energy losses and maximising efficiency, while the structure itself is well-sealed and features low-energy LED lighting throughout.

Water conservation is paramount at Hurlingham Waterfront, with efficient water usage built into the fabric of the homes. Flow restrictors in taps, dual flush toilets and controlled capacity baths ensure responsible water use.

Each home has separate water metering, giving owners full control over their consumption, while rainwater harvesting reduces the reliance on mains-supplied water.

Clean air technologies are another key aspect of the development, ensuring that miminal exhaust gases pollute the environment. Outside, the extensive landscaping acts as a natural barrier by filtering the air and improving local air quality. In the homes themselves, ventilation systems include filters that enhance indoor air quality for a healthy and rejuvenating living environment.

Inclusive design: accessibility and adaptability

Hurlingham Waterfront is designed to cater to residents of all ages and mobility levels. Along with generous-sized lifts, the homes have thoughtfully incorporated features that can be adapted to changing requirements over time, ensuring longevity.

On the grounds, there are ample amenities on offer to support residents’ lifestyle and wellbeing, including a fitness centre, pool, treatment rooms, business centre and comfortable lounges. The result is a place where work and leisure can effortlessly coexist.

Connectivity is another important aspect of Hurlingham Waterfront. With excellent access to underground trains (via Parsons Green), Overground services (via Imperial Wharf) and railway routes (from Wandsworth Town), residents can travel across the city with ease.

The development also encourages cycling with ample storage space. Electric car charging facilities are also included, catering to the growing transition to electric vehicles.

Hurlingham Waterfront stands as a shining example of new city homes embracing sustainability without compromising on comfort and luxury. Rockwell's commitment to eco-conscious development has created an oasis in Hurlingham where residents can enjoy the finest in modern living while investing in a greener, more sustainable future.

Second phase of homes at Hurlingham Waterfront has now launched

Following Hurlingham Waterfront's successful launch in the spring, a wider range of apartments have now been made available. 

Christopher Jones, a Partner in Knight Frank's New Homes team, said: "The first release of residences at Hurlingham Waterfront has been a roaring success. Those who have brought in this first release have been drawn to the development’s unique mix of waterfront tranquillity – afforded to it by the sought-after riverside location – and proximity to central London, which offers vibrant city living for those who seek it.

"SW6 is one of London’s most exclusive residential postcodes; with everything that this development offers – including beautiful design details, fantastic onsite and local amenities and a sought-after riverside location – buyers have been hard pressed to find anything that matches Hurlingham Waterfront in terms of offer and positioning.

"Once complete, those who have purchased here will find themselves living in one of London’s most desirable new developments."
