New London Awards 2022 Winner - Harvey Gardens
Harvey Gardens is 4 little courtyard houses and 3 apartments laid out along a leafy mews in South London. It has been built by Greenwich Council for people over the age of 60. One home is a wheelchair accessible unit and all residents have use of a shared a community day room.
All the homes are accessed via their own street front door and every home has a substantial outdoor space in the form of a courtyard garden or large roof terrace.
The high-quality homes are arranged along a new leafy pedestrian mews street to create a beautiful continuation of the existing terraced street whilst maximising development of an old underused and little cared for garage site.
It takes advantage of the opportunities presented by the site, whilst also preserving privacy of the surrounding dwellings to improve the east, west and north boundaries of the site, thereby increasing the security of the neighbouring properties and along the railway line to the north.
