Palmers Green Residential Revitalization: Urban Transformation Project

Palmers Green, Enfield, London, UK

Simon Kaufman Architects proudly unveils our innovative vision for revitalizing underutilized land behind offices in Palmers Green, Enfield. Our proposal introduces a new residential building, maximising land use efficiency and adhering to the latest Building Regulations. This design aims to unleash the site's potential, fostering a vibrant and sustainable urban environment and addressing the pressing need for new housing.

Strategically located near a district centre and accessible by public transport with a PTAL rating of 4, our proposal responds to the local authority's desire for residential street frontage at the rear of the existing offices. By introducing 674sqm of high-quality residential space, including seven apartments meeting Enfield's housing mix targets, we aim to elevate Palmer's Green urban landscape. Our design adheres to nationally Described Space Standards and London Plan best practices, ensuring optimal living spaces for residents.

Key features include a pedestrian-friendly entrance directly from the street, accessible parking, and cycle storage compliant with London Cycle Design Standards. With communal landscaping and private amenity spaces, our design enhances the neighborhood's appeal while promoting sustainable living.

Arranged around a central core with a lift and staircase designed for accessibility and fire safety, our arrangement maximises functionality while maintaining compliance with Building Regulations. The building's external alignment with adjacent blocks ensures architectural cohesion and contributes to a lively street scene.

Our proposal serves as a catalyst for positive change, offering a model for sustainable urban living. We are committed to shaping a vibrant, inclusive future for Palmers Green, enriching the community with thoughtful, contemporary design solutions.
