AbitoSalford Quays & Greengate, Manchester
Abito explores an innovative approach to the
design of low cost private housing. Conceived
from the inside out to exceptionally tight space
standards, each apartment contains a centrally
located services pod and has a prefabricated
‘hook-on’ balcony.

High ceilings increase the sense of space
and as everything is recessed or hidden
there is ample space to sustain a modern
urban lifestyle.

Abito refines a modular solution, precision
engineered to give more for less. The design
sets the apartments at the perimeter of the
site around a protected courtyard in order
to benefit from daylight and views.
Not bigger. Just smarter. That’s Abito.

Armada Housing, ‘s-Hertogenbosch Netherlands
Longhouses and Tallhouses
are set along a watercourse,
creating a striking
centrepiece at the heart of
a new urban quarter in one
of the Netherlands’ most
beautiful historic towns.
The building forms
are shaped around a
microclimatic and social
idea. The apartment
buildings enclose garden
spaces related to the
water’s edge, and form
warm microclimates for the
enjoyment of the residents.
Stainless steel curved roofs
face south to enhance solar
warmth, accentuating each
apartment’s prospect of
that ‘big Dutch sky.’ Car
parking is concealed below
the longwater, with direct
access to each apartment
building.

Tollgate Gardens, London
This flagship regeneration project
successfully increases the density of a
1960s estate by reinstating street edges
and creating a large communal garden
within the heart of the site. Car parking
sits under the garden to maximise open
and play space for residents. The design
creates a mixed community of 248
private and affordable homes with a
variety of housing types.
9
Palace View, London
Situated opposite Lambeth Palace
overlooking the River Thames, 69 new
homes are created in this outstanding
location. Each apartment is shaped so
that living space and balconies have
multiple aspects and maximised views
and daylight. The design celebrates its
corner location with a sweeping curved
elevation which wraps around a south
facing courtyard at podium level.
Parkway Newbury
A new residential community has been
created as part of this historic town
centre redevelopment. A total of 184
residential units, apartments and houses,
and community gardens form a private
world above this bustling shopping
centre.

Hampden Gurney Housing, London
This scheme was described in the 2001
edition of London Residential Research
as ‘the most innovative development in
central London’ and forms a new landmark
that has revitalised this previously
decaying end of Marylebone.
A courtyard wrap of residential and school
building recreates the city block in keeping
with the urban fabric. 52 apartments
in seven and five storey buildings are
orientated to create a sun-filled courtyard
garden, enjoyed from cantilevered
balconies. The vertical school, with its
playdecks and classrooms rising up to the
tented rooftop, acts as a centrepiece to the
residents’ garden.

Goodricke College, University of York
This simple, yet considerately
designed student accommodation
ranges from study bedrooms
and studios to six room flats and
eight room town houses. Skillfully
manipulated in scale and massing
it gives the scheme its distinctive
undulating roofscape, enclosing a
sequence of sunny courtyard spaces.
The open nature of this edge of
city site demanded a high quality
approach to public realm including
pedestrian and cycle linkages to the
existing and new teaching areas.

Unite Angel Lane,London
Situated in the newly regenerated area
of east London, Angel Lane is within
walking distance of one of Europe’s largest
shopping centres, Westfield Stratford.

Hale Village Masterplan,London
Hale Village is a major sustainable, mixed use
regeneration masterplan for Lee Valley Estates on
a 4.9ha site adjacent to Tottenham Hale Station
in North London. The scheme includes 1,200
residential units, a 100 room hotel, 700 student
accommodation rooms, offices, retail, a primary
school, crèche and neighbourhood management
office. There are significant areas of high quality
greenspace and connections between the open
spaces at the heart of the development and the
Lee Valley Regional Park.

Bedford Square,London
The refurbishment and fitout of a Grade I listed
terrace, located in one of the best preserved Georgian
squares in London, is a unique opportunity to return
the building back to a single high quality family house
after years of neglect, unsympathetic repairs and
arbitrary adaptations.
The project focuses on the sensitive repair of
the historic fabric and the provision of modern
accommodation for a large family and staff, including
full mechanical ventilation and cooling, state of the
art AV facilities, a new lift to make the house fully
accessible and new bathrooms.

Owens Park,Manchester
This is a masterplan for
a state-of the-art village
to accommodate 3,200
students for the University
of Manchester. Replacing
outdated facilities, the
accommodation is designed
as clusters of town houses and
apartments around a village
green with a new student
services centre, shops and a
doctor’s surgery.
23
Store Street,Manchester
An iconic high quality residential
addition to the Manchester skyline and
new landmark close to the future HS2
terminal, the plan form of the building
has been shaped by its context to
maximise long distance views, address
adjacent key heritage assets and
minimise overlooking and daylight
issues with the neighbouring village.
Backaplan, Gothenburg, Sweden
A masterplan for a new district at the heart of
Gothenburg’s River City strategy for the growth
of the city through the regeneration of former
docklands. Three sustainable new neighbourhoods
are set around a new cultural and commercial
centre with a new tram and bus interchange,
connected to the historic centre by a new bridge
across the River Göta.

Cornmill Gardens, Lewisham, London
We have been working with the
London Borough of Lewisham
for many years creating new
public spaces as part of its urban
regeneration exercise. At Cornmill
Gardens underused and unsafe
spaces are transformed into award
winning cohesive and legible places
for the community and create
important links from a new housing
estate to the town centre.
26
Mayfair and Belgravia masterplans, London
We have been producing public realm
schemes in Mayfair and Belgravia for
Grosvenor since 2008. The vision is
to set new standards for urban life in
London and regain and enhance the
human scale that lies at the heart of
this central London estate.
The schemes all improve the pedestrian
experience and reduce vehicle
domination. Public spaces are enhanced
with high quality and robust materials
which strengthen their distinct identity
and create vibrant new places for people
to live, work and visit.

Whitechapel Masterplan, London
A masterplan to reflect the
collaborative vision of the London
Borough of Tower Hamlets and local
stakeholders for the regeneration
of the area. Focusing on six key
areas, including the revitalisation
of Whitechapel Road and the
creation of a striking civic hub, the
design will deliver over 3,500 new
homes, generate 5,000 jobs and
create seven new public squares
and open spaces.
30
Eden Walk, Kingston upon Thames
A major retail led mixed use
regeneration scheme will enhance
the historic market town with
385 new homes created in three
separate buildings at the heart of
the design, which vary in height in
response to the adjacent heritage
and local character. A landscaped
necklace of public spaces from the
River Thames to the north of the
town integrates the new square
and retail, aiming to elevate
Kingston’s historic beauty and
create new legacies of civic pride
and responsible growth.

Harrow View,London
This mixed use masterplan delivers around 2,000
new homes, employment and community uses, a
health centre, primary school and local retail, on
the Kodak Factory site in Harrow.
The masterplan principles were developed around
a network of public spaces, and a series of
neighbourhoods, which could be subdivided into a
range of deliverable development plots, with inbuilt
flexibility allowing the land owners and developer
partners to respond to changing market demands.
Unite Stratford,London
Forming a highly visible
gateway close to the Olympic
Park and international transport
links, the 28 storey building
is set around an internal
courtyard, orientated to
capture the best sun path and
provide a tranquil retreat from
the urban environment. 951
study bedrooms are designed
for a wide range of university
students with common rooms,
a series of terraces and a roof
top conservatory inviting social
interaction for groups of all
sizes.
