Maitland Park Estate was built in the 1930s with successive waves of development until the 1980s. Set around a long park, it provides a tranquil and mature landscape at its heart. The new development frames the central park with a series of brick buildings that share common details and forms across the two sites. At Grafton Terrace, the scheme repairs the Victorian street frontage with a combination of four to six storey flats and a standalone four-storey townhouse. A new community hall, with dedicated garden, commands the corner of the park. The new centre houses a large, sub-dividable function room, bookable meeting/teaching spaces, and a cafe at its heart to provide a hub for locals. New boundary treatments to back gardens, new play features, landscape enhancements and planting have greatly improved the estate’s parkland setting. On the former Aspen House site, a five-storey courtyard building is fronted with a six-storey mansion block to the park. The communal courtyard is landscaped with blossoming trees and areas to sit and play, for the benefit of all the residents of the estate.
