This redevelopment of this central London site will provide a mixed-use development funded by the local authority’s community programme. The scheme will deliver 94 apartments together with commercial, retail and community uses in a series of buildings from 5 to 14 storeys. The housing accommodates a full range of tenures and apartment sizes with an emphasis on providing larger affordable units. The large-scale mixed-use development had been configured to mitigate the challenging daylight/sunlight conditions as well as creating a dramatic building on a predominant corner site. The scheme, funded by the Westminster Community Homes programme will reach Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4 and will incorporate a number of sustainable technologies as well as high levels of thermal performance and air tightness. In addition to a shared courtyard, roof spaces will be landscaped to maximise the available amenity and playspace. A lower podium block addresses the street at an appropriate civic scale and defines the site boundary. The project was won in competition from City West Home’s framework and was submitted for planning following a public consultation exercise.
