Upper Tooting Road is a richly diverse part of London and this scheme provides a progressive housing development, consisting of 18 units, that respects and enhances the existing neighbourhood. The high-quality design draws from the surrounding context and interprets it in a contemporary manner, enhancing London’s rich mix of old and new. Sustainability and placemaking are also enforced with the living-wall facades and the large communal garden to the rear of the development. Similarly by giving the ground floor use back to the community, the social, cultural and economic character of the area is affirmed.
