THE PARTNERSHIP THAT CHANGES SKYLINES WEST ELEVEN AND JO COWEN ARCHITECTS PARTNER AGAIN TO DESIGN THE NEW GROUND-BREAKING LANDMARK IN BATTERSEA Jo Cowen Architects is renowned for its innovative approach to design. Since its last project with boutique property developer, West Eleven, which was an award winning success (Bakery Place), the two companies’ combined again to push design and creativity to the next level in their latest Landmark project, The View. In typical West Eleven fashion, CEO and Founder Will Herrmann successfully bought and got planning permission on a site just off of Battersea Park, sticking to his ethos of unlocking value on the periphery of high value areas. The site originally had a planning brief of only nine units, but with the clever thinking, design and a compassion for the local community, West Eleven secured planning permission for a 15 storey, 39-unit development, which is set to change the skyline of Battersea Park and create a new landmark in the area.
