Ely Court is a 43-dwelling mixed-tenure regeneration scheme within Phase 1b of London’s South Kilburn Estate Regeneration masterplan, a result of Brent’s rolling programme of invited design competitions for each phase. Alison Brooks Architects was invited by Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands to design 43 dwellings on the Ely Court site, while LDS designed 144 units on the site to the north east. The scheme demonstrates the ability of a Local Authority to lead the process of enlightened city building, by commissioning and delivering housing of the highest caliber to integrate previously segregated communities.
