Tottenham, London
Undisclosed value
99 homes + 25,000 square feet of affordable commercial space

  • Mix of uses and tenures
  • Ambition for a new creative community
  • Scheme increases employment/residential space and site density
  • Design resolves poorly defined urban character of the site
  • Commercial space pre-let to a social enterprise
  • Brick and steel framed structures use a modular system of prefabricated units
