| Description: | |
| This CABE commended redevelopment of a retail warehousing site to create a sustainable mixed-use development in North London received planning permission in 2009. The proposals reconcile the needs of retail shed development with the creation of a new residential community by designing the housing around a series of elevated, connected landscaped courts. Both warehousing and parking are wrapped by an active edge of retail and community facilities with strongly expressed double-height entrance halls for all the residential buildings. A comprehensive range of environmental measures include onsite power generation that can also supply the wider area, photovoltaic panels and a SUDDS strategy that recycles water for irrigation and amenity | |
