Gascoigne Estate

View all projects

Demonstrating a London borough's ability to improve its housing stock, this masterplan establishes a framework for the phased redevelopment of a large 1960's housing estate. The proposed neighbourhood reintegrates with surrounding Edwardian terraces, and create a flexible structure that can support multiple building types and scales, from mews houses to apartment buildings with a range densities and heights, two new schools, health and community centres and a new local green. Following on from our masterplan, we designed Kingsbridge Terraces, twenty-seven new shared ownership dwellings making use of council-owned land to accelerate the regeneration at the southernmost of the estate.
