The two towers are articulated by horizontal bands of reconstituted stone at floor levels. These bands project by 400mm from the face of the tower. Between each band a series of reconstituted stone fins provide the vertical emphasis. The fins are 110mm thick and 250mm deep and sit forward of the glass layer set behind. Behind the stone layer, a glass surface would be installed. There would be subdivisions with opening windows and the glass panels would be either clear or opaque. At the top of each glass panel a small band of metal louvres provide ventilation to the interior of the flats. 4.7 Each of the towers would have a connection to adjoining buildings. The North tower would adjoin the west office building and the South tower would adjoin the east office building. 4.8 Vauxhall Square East: Vauxhall Square East building would be erected to 11-storeys in height.

Access to these facilities off Bondway keeps the centre of the site free of traffic. 4.10 The hotel accommodation proposes a mid-market 3 to 4 star hotel with a total of 278 bedrooms laid out over the ground floor, mezzanine plus 9 upper storeys. At least 10% of these rooms would be wheelchair accessible and six rooms are envisaged as larger family/ suite rooms.

The building forms the west side of the development, that turns the corner from Parry Street into Wandsworth Road. The office accommodation can be split up into a maximum of three tenancies. This building would provide a total of 12,850sqm GIA. Access to the offices would be through a central lift lobby accommodating four passenger lifts, toilets and riser space. 4.15 The application proposes two three-storey ‘bookend’ pavilion buildings, which would be positioned off Wandsworth Road, which would create an entrance into the development and also reinforcing a strong pedestrian route through the site and delivering activity to Vauxhall Square. The ‘bookend’ building would integrate the listed terrace into the scheme layout. Active frontages would be proposed within these buildings. 4.16 The elevations of the office building would be composed of white reconstituted stone panels with horizontal bands which would match the existing appearance of the two towers. Between the stone frame there would be glazing and aluminium fins projecting forwards in each three metre bay.
