Our clients owned an unattractive corner plot in Streatham they wanted to use for a combination of residential and commercial units. Constraints included the plot size, Lambeth’s generous outdoor space policy, stringent streetscape guidelines, and ambitious zero-carbon targets for new builds.
We needed to provide the desired number of flats while adhering to guidelines for apartment sizes, aspect, and setbacks. To make this happen, we sought design guidance through a pre-application meeting with Lambeth Council, which helped us understand their requirements so we could streamline the process and give our clients the greatest chance of success.
We designed two four-storey buildings with commercial units on the ground floor and varied apartments above. To comply with guidelines, we created larger, dual-aspect flats and a blank eastern wall for future development. Although individual outdoor spaces were sacrificed, we negotiated with the council to provide a shared roof garden. This approach transformed the plot into a valuable asset with both housing and commercial units, meeting all regulatory requirements.
