IYLO, Croydon

An elliptical tower, comprising two equal halves that slide past each other. The development provides 183 private residential units and key worker units. The building makes use of a brownfield island site at a major entrance to Croydon centre and will achieve an excellent BREEAM rating and will be in full compliance with Lifetime Homes, offering disabled access throughout.

The form of the tower was carefully considered to create an elegant form, without overshadowing the neighbouring buildings. It will provide stunning views for the apartments inside whilst responding to the scale of the neighbouring residential buildings to enable sunlight to reach the central space of the scheme.
