Harrow Road Apartments

Location

The project is located in Harrow Road, North London.

The Clients Brief

This project was commissioned by the owner of the existing Victorian building facing onto Harrow Road, a busy London traffic artery. The client had previously failed to obtain planning permission for the project from another architect and we were asked to redesign the layouts and following consultation with the local authority we obtained planning permission in February 2016.

Architect’s response to the brief:

We remodelled the existing Victorian building at the front of the site to accommodate new apartments thus increasing the value of the property. The apartments are a mix of one and two bed units to designed to meet London Plan Standards and the local authority standards. We also designed a house for the owner at the rear of the site, refer to Harrow Road House for details.
