Eclisse Supply Celebrated Holland Green Development

Posted by Caroline Clarkson on 28th Jun 2017

Dutch architecture studio OMA partnered with London firm Allies and Morrison to create three limestone-clad apartment blocks called Holland Green around the Grade II-listed former Commonwealth Institute in Holland Park, Kensington.

Its three cubes with external stone lattice provide apartments, with communal facilities including a gym, spa, cinema room, swimming pool and underground parking.

Sales of the 56 one- to five-bedroom flats within the development have helped fund the conversion of the 1960s building into a new home for London's Design Museum, due to reopen in November 2016.

The unusual side of this development is that a proportion of the profits of the development are paying for creating a new home for the Design Museum which will be housed in the wonky, curved-roofed, much-rebuilt pavilion which is all that remains of the Commonwealth Institute.
