New London Architecture

300 Harrow Road

Built

New housing in Westminster, the tenure was changed mid-construction by the elected Labour council from being 50% for private sale to 100% affordable rent – with the majority available at social rent.

A residential-led, mixed-use scheme for Westminster City Council, Harrow Road is an ambitious regeneration project intrinsically focused upon placemaking and substantially enhancing the social environment for the local community in Paddington. The development comprises of three blocks and extensive landscaping - all allowing for the re-provision of existing community facilities, a nursery, new public realm, commercial spaces, and crucially 112 new homes.

A residential-led, mixed-use scheme for Westminster City Council, Harrow Road is an ambitious regeneration project intrinsically focused upon placemaking and enhancing the social environment for the local community in Paddington. The development comprises of three blocks and extensive landscaping—all allowing for the re-provision of existing community facilities, a nursery, new public realm, commercial spaces, and crucially 112 new homes. The two core themes of this project are re-provision and densification. The dwellings incorporate demand reduction measures to target a 10 percent improvement over Part L 2013, without reliance on low and zero carbon energy technologies.

Resilient London: confronting climate change

A residential-led, mixed-use scheme for Westminster City Council, Harrow Road is an ambitious regeneration project comprising of three blocks and extensive landscaping, allowing for the re-provision of existing community facilities, a nursery, new public realm, commercial spaces, and 112 new homes. The project is based around a new green heart at the centre of the scheme. Designed as a playable landscape that links the new amenity to the existing canalside park, these new facilities will provide an attractive focal point for the local community. The passive design of the dwellings has been developed to balance daylighting, heat losses and heat gains. An Air Source Heat pump (ASHP) is sized to meet 60 per cent of the heating demand, with gas-fired boilers meeting the residual 40 per cent.
