Croydon Housing

201 homes across multiple sites.

We were chosen by Brick x Brick, Croydon Council’s new private development company, to work on nine sites as part of an ambitious programme to develop publicly owned land within the borough for residential/ mixed use purposes. The sites vary in scale and context; from urban town centre to suburban locations, including: carparks; estate infill; backland infill, and locally listed buildings. Each site has its own set of complex site constraints including issues of ownership, access, overlooking, conservation, parking and stakeholder concerns. Three projects have been delivered and are fully occupied: Drummond Road; Heathfield Gardens, and Hermitage Road, providing in total 57 new homes and 319m2 of commercial space.

“This is a ground-breaking approach. The programme has created a strategy for maximising leftover spaces in the borough and making sure these were developed using an innovative model.”
