Lawrence Road - Tottenham, London

 

The masterplan for this part of Lawrence Road in Tottenham, in the London Borough of Haringey, which is located in an area that is undergoing significant regeneration.
The scheme provides a mix of housing and commercial premises for smaller start up businesses with a mixed-use, street fronting ‘city block’ and rear residential mews. Courtyards provide sunlight and daylight within the development as well as creating a variety of opportunities for types of landscape character and for social meeting within the communal spaces. The courtyards are densely planted to create a sense of green space and an oasis in the heart of an urban quarter, off a busy main road and to increase the porosity across the site. Trees and seasonal planting create interest all year.
