A compact residential development on the constrained former Mereway Day Centre site, responding to its proximity to the River Crane and adjacent nature reserve.
Seven three- and four-bedroom family homes are arranged as a contemporary mews, making efficient use of the tapered site while providing gardens to both front and rear. The homes incorporate Passivhaus principles, including highly insulated envelopes, heat-pump technology, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery and photovoltaics, targeting net-zero carbon performance.
The scheme treats the brownfield site as an opportunity to introduce new sustainable homes and landscape habitats while carefully limiting its impact on the river, Metropolitan Open Land and neighbouring properties.
