LUC is pleased to be part of a winning team at this year’s RIBA London awards on a large residential project in London.

LUC worked with Haworth Tompkins Architects on a new Peabody housing scheme within The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The major regeneration project comprises a total of 112 new homes (shared ownership, outright sale and social rent), and new community and retail facilities.

The landscape concept is an integration of the existing open spaces to create a green network and visual connectivity in an otherwise urban environment. LUC’s landscape masterplan extends into the wider landscape through Section 106 investment in adjacent green spaces; enhancing bio-diversity and accessibility.

The scheme draws on the site’s history through use of traditional materials and the restoration of the historic Lockton Street; bringing new life to the disused railway arches. At the core of the development is a new communal garden offering a relaxing environment for residents and opportunities for natural play for young children.
