Design approach

Emerging Design Principles

The architects at TateHindle and the urban landscape team at Outer Space have sought to develop a proposal that responds sensitively to each of the surrounding neighbouring areas, whilst improving the use of the site and opening up a new pedestrian route.

• Respond to the changing context: from road / rail and the residential environment
• Focus taller buildings along the railway line away from the allotments and existing residents
• Avoid overshadowing of the allotments
• Maintain long views through the site
• Protect and use the existing mature planting
• Improve pedestrian connectivity to West Harrow Underground Station
• Develop a landscaping approach that provides a well-used green space at the heart of the development
