Designed by HOK Architects, Northolt Grange is a 92-home development which will establish a new model for high-quality, sustainable and affordable housing in Ealing, West London. The development will provide a mix of 100% affordable apartments and family houses on a one-acre site.

In line with the Healthy Streets for London initiative, which places human health and experience at the heart of city planning, the design sets the homes back from the street to allow space to create greener, more attractive streets that encourage walking and cycling. The green streets connect to a new public park and wrap around the site’s perimeter, creating a new entry to the adjoining primary school. Students and staff can enjoy the outdoor space.

Adjacent to the school is a proposed small street with a series of four-bedroom family homes arranged along a ‘play’ street for older children. The design positions the buildings so occupants can enjoy scenic views and privacy. A 30 space car park is hidden beneath a first floor podium deck which will include children’s play equipment, raised planters and seating areas to create a car free, communal space.
