A housing block by architecture studio Farrells, currently under construction in west London, is aiming to be the first housing in the city to accept delivery of packages by drone.

Although commercial drone deliveries are not yet happening in London, developer Almacantar wants Lyons Place to be able to take advantage of the technology as soon as possible.

Scheduled to complete in June, the 76-home development will incorporate a landing area for drone deliveries, operated by drone-infrastructure company Skyports.

“We’re always looking for ways to future-proof our developments,” explained Kathrin Hersel, properties director at Almacantar.

“Partnering with Skyports, with the intention of Lyons Place being London’s first residential development to accept commercial drone deliveries, therefore makes perfect sense,” she told Dezeen.

Drone deliveries direct to residents

The landing platform will be located in the centre of the roof on Lyons Place’s main housing block. Skyports has agreed to lease the space for the platform – or vertiport – from the developer, and will operate and maintain the landing area.

The system will allow residents to have deliveries delivered directly by drones as soon as this service is available in London.

建築工作室Farrells的住宅區目前正在倫敦西部建造,目的是成為該市第一個接受無人機包裹運送的住房。

儘管倫敦尚未發生商用無人機交付,但開發商Almacantar希望Lyons Place能夠盡快利用該技術。

預計將於6月完工,76個住宅開發項目將包括無人機交付的著陸區,由無人機基礎設施公司Skyports運營。

“我們一直在尋找未來證明我們發展的方法,”Almacantar的物業總監Kathrin Hersel解釋道。

“與Skyports合作,意圖Lyons Place是倫敦第一個接受商業無人機交付的住宅開發項目,因此非常有意義,”她告訴Dezeen。

無人機直接向居民交付

登陸平台將位於Lyons Place主要住宅區的屋頂中心。 Skyports已經同意從開發商那裡租用平台或頂棚的空間,並將操作和維護著陸區。

一旦倫敦提供此項服務,該系統將允許居民直接通過無人機交付。

“Tenants living at Lyons Place, by the click of a finger, will be able to order items from the comfort of their homes through the internet, which is then delivered by a drone landing on the roof,” said Ade Awoye, senior architect at Farrells.

“The concierge is then notified of the parcels arrival and collects the item to be hand delivered to the tenant’s front door,” he told Dezeen.

Drone ports “will become the norm”

Farrells incorporated the drone port so as to anticipate the needs of the future residents and their desire to be connected with the city. The studio believes that facilities for drone deliveries will need to be incorporated in most urban projects moving forward.

“通過手指點擊住在里昂廣場的租戶將可以通過互聯網從舒適的家中訂購物品,然後由無人機降落在屋頂上,”高級建築師Ade Awoye說道。Farrells。

“然後禮賓人員會收到包裹到貨的通知,並將收集的物品收集到租戶的前門,”他告訴Dezeen。

無人機端口“將成為常態”

Farrells整合了無人機港口,以滿足未來居民的需求以及他們與城市建立聯繫的願望。 該工作室認為,無人機交付的設施將需要納入大多數前進的城市項目。

 

“We are adapting to technological trends and the increase in consumer goods purchasing that is starting to shape the urban cities we live in,” continued Awoye.

“This is a new level of connectivity within the urban city and we believe this will become the norm in the near future.”

Awoye表示:“我們正在適應技術趨勢和消費品購買的增長,這種購買正在開始塑造我們所居住的城市。”

“這是城市內部新的連通性,我們相信這將成為不久的將來的常態。”

This view is shared by the drone-infrastructure company Skyports. In a recent interview with Dezeen, Duncan Walker, the company’s managing director, said that “vertiports” will be as common bike facilities in the future.

The idea is in line with some the ideas proposed in the Dezeen documentary Elevation, which suggested that the use of drones will transform the way buildings are designed and the ways cities function.

Lyons Place “an early adopter”

Skyports is currently acquiring rooftop spaces across London. It already has the rights to 15 rooftops in the city, with Lyons Place the first in line to accept drone deliveries once they start happening.

“Lyons Place is an early adopter of this new technology. There are still a couple of hurdles to clear, but Lyons Place is at the front of the queue for first flights,” Jeannie Pritchard infrastructure manager told Dezeen.

“Future-proofing the scheme in this way secures this location for drone operations. We believe that many buildings will have Vertiports in the not-too-distant future.”

這種觀點由無人機基礎設施公司Skyports共享。在最近接受Dezeen採訪時,公司總經理鄧肯沃克表示,“直升機”將成為未來常見的自行車設施。

這個想法符合Dezeen紀錄片Elevation中提出的一些想法,這些想法表明無人機的使用將改變建築物的設計方式和城市運作方式。

里昂廣場“早期採用者”

Skyports目前正在倫敦各地收購屋頂空間。它已擁有該城市15個屋頂的權利,里昂廣場是第一個接受無人機交付後排隊的線路。

“里昂廣場是這項新技術的早期採用者。仍有一些障礙要清除,但里昂廣場位於第一次飛行排隊的前列,”Jeannie Pritchard基礎設施經理告訴Dezeen。

“以這種方式為該計劃提供未來保障,確保無人機操作的位置。我們相信很多建築物將在不久的將來擁有Vertiports。”

 

Along with the port at Lyons Place, Almacantar confirmed that drone delivery facilities will be considered for each of future developments. It is currently working to incorporate a drone delivery port at its Marble Arch Place development.

There are numerous designers developing ideas for city-wide drone delivery systems, including PriestmanGoode, whose Dragonfly concept imagines autonomous drones becoming the primary service for mail deliveries.

與Lyons Place的港口一起,Almacantar確認將為未來的每一項開發項目考慮無人機交付設施。 它目前正在大理石拱門開發項目中加入無人機輸送港。

有許多設計師為全市無人機傳送系統開發創意,包括PriestmanGoode,其Dragonfly概念設想自動無人機成為郵件傳遞的主要服務。
