New Residential Housing Scheme for Metropolitan Housing
Robinson Kenning & Gallagher were commissioned by Spurgeon’s College to prepare design proposals for key worker accommodation on South Norwood Hill, Croydon. The scheme comprised of thirty-six apartments over three separate residential blocks, with on-site parking for 36 cars, and raised external amenity space to the front and rear.
The site, located on a busy local A-road, stepping down Norwood Hill was previously a petrol station. The residential blocks (three and four storeys high) are a mixture of one, two and three bedroom units. RKG developed the scheme in close liaison with the Local Borough Council before successfully gaining Planning Approval for affordable housing accommodation for Metropolitan Housing who purchased the site.
OTHER RESIDENTIAL CASE STUDIES:
The proposed development was for the demolition of the existing public house and its replacement on a similar footprint with a 3 and 4 storey building comprising of 11 number 1, 2 and 3 bedroom flats (including 1 flat on the ground floor which can be easily adaptable to a fully accessible wheelchair unit), cycle and refuse storage including recycling.
Robinson Kenning & Gallagher were introduced to this project at an early planning stage to work with the contractor - Durkan, Housing Association and other consultants to construct the affordable housing element of the residential part of the redevelopment to create the new Arsenal football ground named The Emirates.
