Description
- Block and Street Pattern: The joint masterplan aims to reinstate the 19th-century London suburb pattern, restoring the traditional urban fabric.
- Alpha Mews: A new element in the shared block, connecting garden squares, play areas, and parking, providing a finer development grain and enhancing connectivity.
- The overarching goal is to reintegrate the estate and its community into the city's urban fabric, promoting connectivity and integration.
- Building Types: The project includes Terrace, Flatiron, Link, and Mews types, offering variety in residential options.
- The units are of exceptionally high quality, with bright and spacious interiors that exceed LHDG standards.
- Common Design Features: Buildings feature full-height French doors, generous 2.6m floor-to-ceiling height, and common brick with metal accents, offering a cohesive, high-quality aesthetic.
- The Terrace design is inspired by Maida Vale mansion blocks, while Alpha Mews introduces a more finely grained development approach.
- The project showcases the Local Authority's role in enlightened city building, highlighting the integration of public spaces with active street elevations that overlook these areas.
- Richard Barrat's Testimonial: Praises the architects for their understanding and execution of the vision, emphasizing the careful consideration of external facades, materiality, layouts, and specifications that foster a strong sense of community ownership and place.
