This is our local tube station as is and as reimagined with homes on top. Which do you prefer? Beautiful buildings do not just create homes. They improve places. It is beyond insane that there is literally a bungalow a few hundred yards from both the Palace of Westminster and Waterloo Train Station. In a world where Create Streets were setting planning policy beautiful, popular intensification of this types of site would be embedded by right following provably popular pattern books so there was no planning risk or equity capital requirement at all, only the need to raise debt for the construction. The good news is that....

We have broken ground on Rutland Street! After 3 years and many steps forwards (then backwards) we have just leaped forward to transform a small desolate corner into a greened up garden and space for kids, teens and passers by to hang out and sit amongst nature...
