Edmund Street in Camberwell is a regeneration scheme for Notting Hill Housing that is being developed by Ardmore Construction and will create 279 new homes. The mix of private, social and affordable housing is arranged in ten blocks ranging from three to seven storeys in height.
There is a broad mix of residential types, ranging from apartments and duplex units to family houses, all achieving Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4.
The solution
The guiding concept for the scheme was to reconnect streets to the surrounding area, providing new, safe pedestrian links and integrated public amenity spaces at key locations. Clearly defined private amenities are also created within private landscaped courtyards, communal roof terraces and generous balconies.
Homes have been developed using a mix of building types and a variety of heights, with variations in roof forms, materials and textures utilised to create a varied street scene built around defined character areas.
Ardmore had a choice of flooring materials for balconies and communal roof terraces and chose decking.
