Master-planning

Community-led vision and master-plan, West End Lane, London

  • The co-design of an alternative masterplan for a publicly-owned site in Hampstead, London.
  • In conjunction with the architects Francis Terry and Associates and calfordseaden, Create Streets created an alternative mixed-use proposal for a publicly owned site to show how a different approach could both fit in more harmoniously but also provide more space for shops and homes. Using the locally-preferred, red brick mansion blocks typology, our proposal replaced the existing business and employment space with 97 homes (including flats, mews houses and maisonettes), 5,000 square metres of flexible employment space, 550 square metres of shops and over 100 square metres of communal space.
