The co-design of an alternative masterplan for the Oval gas works site in South London.
In conjunction with the architects Francis Terry and Associates and Urban Design Engineering, Create Streets created an alternative masterplan of gentle density streets and squares with a strong brick and ironwork aesthetic. Working closely with the community, Little Oval offered a high density, medium rise (3 to 8 storeys) and walkable alternative, that matched the numbers of homes (1,187) in the existing plans. The proposal also preserved and celebrated the gas holders and received 92% versus 8% support in a local poll.
