This mixed-use development in Highgate features 8 ground-floor commercial units and 12 modern flats above, spread across two buildings. Located opposite the Parliament Hill entrance to Hampstead Heath, the scheme revitalises a previously neglected intersection once home to rundown shops and a disused petrol station. The new timber-fronted shopfronts, large windows, and coordinated awnings support local businesses and animate the street. Above, the flats are set behind a red brick band referencing local architecture, with the upper floor recessed and clad in weathered copper to reduce visual impact. Recessed bronze-framed windows and deep window seats add character and depth.
