The Stonebridge Estate was once blighted by urban deprivation. Cullinan Studio has been working with The Hyde Group on the regeneration of the Estate in the London Borough Brent for over a decade. Completed in 2008, the Stonebridge Hillside Hub is an economically self-sustaining community building composed of two six-storey wings of mixed-tenure residential apartments, health centre and convenience store, that sit either side of the three-storey community centre. The wings’ distinctive prows enclose a new public space sheltered from the busy street by trees and level changes. Completed in 2016, Spring at Stonebridge Park - defined by key vistas, active frontages, shared social spaces and access to daylight - is designed to create a new neighbourhood woven into the adjacent connecting streets. 117 mixed-tenure homes wrap around a central communal garden and a canal diverted to flow through the heart of the development. The orientation of the buildings ensures direct sunlight reaches the garden, across the smaller mews houses, from the south and west. Between the villas, corner balconies gain cross-views of the park and garden.
