Situated in the heart of Kingston Upon Thames this building will be given a new lease of life as a result of this mixed use development. Shortlisted for a RIBA Housing Design Award, Grid architects’ scheme retains the retail use at ground and lower ground floor levels with the first, second and third floors converted to residential with three additional storeys to create a total of 56 new homes, including 35% affordable housing. The extended building rises to seven storeys with a discreet setback at sixth floor level. The design exemplifies sustainable urban intensification, and the planning committee praised the design, highlighting the retrofit first and heritage-led approach. Terrapin assisted with strategic planning advice and extensive stakeholder, political and resident engagement.
