Lakeview
Road SE27
(for
Ujima Housing Association)
The site is located in Streatham on the south side of Lake View Road close to the junction with Lamberhurst Road.
The scheme makes a hard edge to 2 new cross site streets. The first runs north south across the site along the well-established pedestrian route connecting Lakeview Road and Crown Road. The other runs east/west across the site. At the intersection of the two routes is a public square with trees and benches.
The massing /scale of the buildings are highly contextual
The scheme adopts an unusual terrace/courtyard hybrid typology.
