Agar Grove Estate was constructed by the London Borough of Camden in 1966. The buildings are in poor condition and public space underused. Through a process of consultation with residents it was agreed that comprehensive redvelopment was called for. The brief is to demolish 112 homes, retain 137 homes (Lulworth tower), and provide 361 new homes. Our scheme is based on five objectives: • Growing the Grove- using Agar Grove to create attractive amenity • Stitching in- connecting the streets and building form to its context • Giving meaning to Lulworth- refurbishing Lulworth tower to improve sustainability and identity • A safe family neighbourhood- planning streets around with continuous well-defined blocks and active frontages • Building better homes- creating high quality homes with good space standards and environmental performance
