Design for London

A mixed use scheme providing over 200 new homes and vibrant new work spaces around a new courtyard. 

Challenge
To redevelop a brownfield site situated between a busy railway line and an attractive conservation area.

Solution
Conventional thinking would have been to place the affordable housing along the railway tracks. However, we proposed placing the the affordable housing away from the tracks along the street, matching the heights of the surrounding conservation area to create an urban boulevard. This allowed more height for the higher building housing the private apartments alongside the railway, with amazing views across South London and generating greater value from the site.
