The Building
We’re calmer next to nature
While every apartment has its own private terrace, we’re also creating a tranquil communal garden above the canopy of Wandsworth, landscaped by award-winning designers GRDN. Up here, you’ll find a micro allotment assigned to each home with space to plant seeds, grow your own vegetables or tend to your favourite flowers.
The greenest way to travel
Whether you’re cycling home from the office or heading back from Richmond Park on a Sunday, rest assured there’s a secure space for your bicycle at Evagreen. Located inside the main entrance, on the ground floor, each apartment will be allocated at least one spot.
The Apartments
A place to retreat to
Life in London is busy; there’s always something to do. But at Evagreen, we’re creating spaces that ask you to take things slowly. A retreat within the city.
Working alongside the talented designers at Scenesmith, we’ve chosen a natural tonal palette, with finishes hand-picked for their tactility and impact on the planet. These are materials you’ll want to run your hand over, from the walnut-veneer cabinetry to the terrazzo tiles. Every detail considered.
Room to breathe
The height of a room has a noticeable effect on the way the space feels. At Evagreen, we’ve left the concrete exposed overhead, creating lofty 2.8m ceiling heights with some apartments even reaching 3.3m.
To add to this sense of space, we’ve placed oversized doors and windows throughout, with glass-to-glass corners wherever possible. Tall and airy spaces flooded with ambient, natural light
Carbon neutral kitchens
Not only do the cabinet makers at Leicht show an undeniable reverence for their craft, they’re also a carbon neutral manufacturer.
We’ve paired their rich, walnut veneer, front-framed kitchens with smooth, green Silestone worktops. Composed of a blend of quartz, premium minerals and recycled glass, this high-performance surface is made using renewable energy and recycled water. A sustainable kitchen that’s anchored to the earth.
Filtered hot taps mean you’ll have instant access to steaming water, using 50% less energy than a kettle. And the appliances are fully integrated, from your induction hob and oven, to your fridge freezer and dishwasher, all made by Bosch.
Renewable cork flooring
It’s an unfortunate fact that laying wooden floors means that a number of trees have been cut down. But that’s not the case with cork. This sustainable product is hand-harvested from the outer bark of the cork oak tree, which then grows a new layer each time. And each tree can live for up to 250 years.
Cork forests are some of the most biodiverse and ecologically rich places on the planet, absorbing carbon and defending against desertification. We’ve also chosen to avoid using glue, which means the floor can be taken apart without damaging the boards and reused elsewhere
Serene bathrooms
Stepping into each bathroom, you’ll find smooth green or light peach tiles by Mandarin Stone, warm underfoot thanks to zoned underfloor heating. A place to take a moment as your day begins, beneath a rainfall shower with a Crittal-style screen.
Behind each sink and softly illuminated by an Artemide globe light, a niched terrazzo shelf provides the ideal platform to showcase your favourite skincare and perfume. (And the under-sink drawers are there for everything else.) We’ve sourced our terrazzo from the motherland itself - Verona, Italy. It’s a truly sustainable product, made using quarry waste from the natural stone industry.

menu
It all starts with coffee
Evagreen is surrounded by a host of bean connoisseurs. Less than 3 minutes’ walk away, the meticulous baristas at Story Coffee treat each latte like a canvas. And since opening their doors this February, Hopper has quickly become a Wandsworth Town staple, like the well-loved Gail’s on Old York Road.
Stop by Kat Coffee Co on the way to the river, or Another Brother overlooking Wandsworth Park. We can’t decide who makes the best cortado, so you’ll have to see for yourself.
Clapham’s Northcote Road
Clapham’s historic Northcote Road is a 13-minute bus away, offering an extensive list of independent eateries, pubs and bars. Head to the checkerboard floors of Pintus for pasta and parmigiana, Kibou for sushi and sake, or The Bolingbroke for beer battered fish and chips.
When the sun goes down, grab a cocktail at Northcote Records or choose a glass of one of Vagabond’s many wines. And tucked away, just off the main road, find a charming traditional pub - The Eagle Ale House.
A life of leisure
Planting city feet on softer ground
It’s easy to reconnect with nature here. Whether it’s a wander through the ornamental gardens of King George Park, or a jog along the river’s edge, under Wandsworth Park’s leafy avenue of London plane trees. Spending time outside really does make things better on the inside.
There are plenty more green spaces to visit, from Clapham Common and Battersea Park, to Putney Heath and Richmond Park. An array of places offering tennis courts, lakes, wild deer and fresh air.
Treat yourself
There’s something to be said about surrounding ourselves with a considered collection of things that make us happy. Objects, items and articles that simply make each day better.
Find a record that makes your heart sing at Soul Brother, a vibrant vinyl shop nearby. Head to Old York Road to find flowers, charcuterie and wine. Or take the bus to Clapham’s Northcote Road and fill a Saturday afternoon with the scents of Aesop and the eclectic antiques market. Plus, the newly renovated Battersea Power Station is home to the likes of Ace & Tate, Le Labo, Reformation and The Kooples.
Curated inspiration
Less than a 10-minute walk from Evagreen, the Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery offers a quiet place for contemplation and admiration of multicultural talent. Offering a dynamic, inclusive platform, the space exhibits a roster of innovative artists, both emerging and established.
Battersea Arts Centre, a 15-minute bus journey away, brings together communities, artists and audiences to spark positive change. They host events almost daily, with dance performances, open mic nights, craft drop ins and theatre productions.
Wellness & relaxation
Seek balance between mind and body within the airy studio at More Yoga, moments from Evagreen. And for group training with a community-feel, try Gymnasium. It’s the only certified B-Corp gym in the UK and recently appeared in Men’s Health magazine as one of the world’s best gyms.Connect to your body in a very different way at Barnes & Bray – a hair salon on Old York Road that sends absolutely zero salon waste to landfill. They’ve partnered with the Green Salon Collective, meaning even your hair is recycled, helping to clean oil spills, create compost, wigs and more.
Your evening entertainment
As the sun sets, pubs aren’t the only evening activity around Evagreen. Strike offers tenpin bowling, smart darts, electric shuffleboard and London’s first ever duckpin bowling lanes. Next door, Boom Battle Bar adds to the list, with axe throwing, pool, crazy golf and ping pong. There’s also Backyard Cinema around the corner, bringing a new way to enjoy film.
And just around
the corner...
Connected to the city
From Wandsworth Town station, trains speed to the Victoria Line at Vauxhall in just 8 minutes, and directly to Waterloo in 14. This means journeys into the city are a breeze, reaching Oxford Circus in 20 minutes and both Bank and London Bridge in less than half an hour.
There’s a steady flow of buses heading in all directions along the High Street and Armoury Way. And on Ram Street, a few minutes’ walk from Evagreen, a row of Santander cycles is waiting.
The scenic route
Being so close to the Thames means there’s another way to commute; tap in and catch a Thames Clipper from Wandsworth Riverside Quarter Pier. If there’s one way to take the scenic route in London, this is it, with boats reaching Chelsea Harbour in 13 minutes, Battersea Power Station Pier in 26 minutes and Embankment in 40.
Heading further afield
Wandsworth Town Station is one short stop from Clapham Junction and from here, there are regular 24-minute trains to Gatwick Airport. Clapham Junction is also a major hub for south-west services to the coast, with Brighton just 47 minutes away.
Studying in London
Evagreen sits comfortably within the catchment area for Ashcroft Technology Academy, a secondary school rated outstanding by Ofsted during its past three inspections. West Hill and St Joseph’s are both good options for nursery and primary-aged children. Not forgetting The Roche School, an independent awarded a prestigious place on The Good Schools Guide.
For those in further education, it takes less than 45 minutes to reach six of London’s top ten universities. This includes Imperial College London, University College London (UCL), King’s College and The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).

Our choices are important
We’re conscious of the role we play when it comes to looking after the planet. And we don’t take this lightly. At Evagreen we’re investing in a future-proofed way to heat your home. We’ve sought out suppliers who share our ethos, and we’ve selected materials not just for the way they look, but for their impact on the climate.
Lucy Hutchings. Author of Get up and Grow.
Rather than print boxes full of brochures that are likely to end up in landfill, we’re gifting our potential residents some green-fingered advice in the form of edible garden designer Lucy Hutchings’ latest book, Get Up and Grow. In Lucy’s eyes, why should apartment dwellers and balcony gardeners be excluded from a taste of the good life? We couldn’t agree more.
The Team
Artform, The Developer
At Artform, we like to do things differently. And not just for the fun of it (although it is a lot more fun).
We think new homes should be innovative, beautiful and unique – spaces that ultimately make people’s lives better. And that means we’re consistently finding and working with exceptional talent, pushing the boundaries of conventional development to create spaces focused on good design.
As with all our developments, from start to finish, we’ve had you in mind at Evagreen, creating a collection of apartments that any of us would be proud to call home.
GPAD, The Architect
We’ve had the pleasure of working with award-winning architecture practice GPAD on numerous projects across London. Some of our stand-out developments are pictured here, including a collection of mews apartments in Camden and both of our Harrow Road projects in Kensal Green.
Scenesmith, The Designer
Artform wouldn’t be the same without our long-standing design house of choice, Scenesmith. Over the years, we’ve created some very special spaces together, with a selected few shown here. Whether it’s a collection of houses in Kensal Rise, apartments in Stokey or our flagship Hackney Road scheme, Hide, we love bringing Scenesmith’s ideas to life.
