Foxley Lane
Designed for an industry-leading housing association and located in an area of South London with exceptionally high need for affordable homes, this residential development of 3,000sqm will offer its full floorplate of 41 apartments to the affordable housing market.
On a prominent corner plot, the building is set over 5 storeys, transitioning in scale beneath an undulating roof structure. The building’s contemporary, responsive form and its materiality has been designed to amplify development potential whilst respecting the architecture and scale of adjacent buildings, which feature white rendered façades and prominent gabled elevations.
Floor-to-ceiling windows, Juliette and recessed balconies let in abundant natural light and will look on to the site’s retained mature trees and new landscaping, designed to mimic a forest floor.
OB Architecture secured planning permission for the project, delivering RIBA Work Stages 0–3, including feasibility studies, a pre-application submission, and a Planning Performance Agreement (PPA) with the Local Authority, culminating in a successful planning approval. The project was then novated to the main contractor, Vision Construct, to complete RIBA Work Stages 4–6, including on-site services.
