The development of the scheme involved the demolition of the warehouse/storage facilities on site and formation of a basement plant area with apartments over.

The site incorporated the access drum and ventilation shafts for a Second World War deep air raid shelter together with ground levels storage buildings which were in the possession of London Underground Limited (LUL).  The site was over the underground Northern Line serving Clapham South Station. 

There were 64 dwellings in two blocks ranging from 4 to 8 storeys above ground in a combination of affordable units and private for sale units.  The blocks are linked by a landscaped courtyard at ground floor level.

The works also included alterations and refurbishments to the WWII air vents and access drum.
