London’s housing crisis isn't solely about affordability; overcrowding is a significant issue. Our clients identified an underutilised terrace containing 14 dwellings, proposing its demolition and redevelopment to create more homes. The challenge was to design a residential housing development that maximised the site, respected neighbours' light rights, contributed to affordable housing, and provided desirable living spaces.
We aimed to ensure ample natural light, space, and greenery for the new development. The site, previously occupied by an oversized car park and neglected lawns, presented tremendous opportunities. Instead of replicating the existing terrace, we opted for a low-rise semi-perimeter block design, traditionally seen in cities like Paris or Barcelona, to optimise the space.
Our innovative design transformed the site into 41 dual-aspect, spacious flats with stepped roof heights to maintain light for the neighbouring houses. Each resident has access to green space through roof gardens, enhancing the living environment. This project demonstrates how underutilised land in London suburbs can be efficiently redeveloped to address the housing crisis, creating well-designed homes that balance density with quality of life.
