Open Havelock is a mixed use community space on the Havelock Estate in Southall that transformed degraded and empty garages, undercrofts and their adjoining grounds into a flexible community facility.

Open Havelock is grounded in an in depth understanding and sustained engagement with the social and built context of the site. The project reinhabits service and communal spaces on an estate where they had been misused and obsolete. It advocates for a visioning and repurposing that recognises their value, character and potential, transforming blighted garages, undercrofts and public realm into a social and delightful asset.
