PLAY TIME

by Rujina Chaudhury

This project aims to address the acute shortage of housing and lack of consistent public realm in New Cross through a creative re-imagination of terraced housing. The idea is having terrace homes for young families with children on both side of the site with University student flats on the corners. The proposal aims to ‘re-imagine’ the idea of play in the middle of the site, which is private only for the residents. The terrace homes on both edges of the site create two new street frontages. The proposal aims to improve the quality of the private garden spaces and integrate the development with the urban context through a clearer arrangement of amenities around the site.
