WORKS START ON SITE ON THE REGENERATION OF AN OLD SHOE FACTORY INTO 3 MEWS HOUSES AND 6 FLATS
Initially gaining ‘change of use’ of this property, held in a family portfolio for many years, via a ‘permitted development’ application, then applying for the vertical extension of the central block, we managed to put a scheme together for 9 units - 3 mews-type houses and 6 flats.
Working with the existing fabric of an industrial brick, we propose new elements in black timber and zinc. The development is highly insulated and has excellent environmental credentials.

We are all about collaboration at SFA, with our Belsize Office consisting of a community of interior designers, project managers and other specialists, providing a one stop shop service for our clients.
The Creative Hub is a collective of independent professional businesses with diverse and complementary backgrounds, who have a long-standing working relationship with the residential and commercial design industry. By offering this strong knowledge of the market and diverse range of services, The Creative Hub can cover a broad design style that suits projects of any size and budget.
We are delighted to be working with Castlehaven Community Centre, in the heart of Camden Town, developing a masterplan for their varied campus, which consists of adult education, a nursery, sports pitches and a horticultural hub.
Set around a public park, the site is intersected by a train viaduct and arches, with these elements a key part of the masterplan that aims to bring them together to give shared identities to varied functions. By using design, branding and colour, we hope to create a visible identity for Castlehaven, rejuvenating the campus to create a space designated for communities to congregate and communicate. We delivered the first phase this summer for the renovation and reconfiguration of the main community building and administrative spaces. Further phases are now under design development so watch this space to see how this project progresses.
Alongside architects Matthew Lloyd and Shahed Saleem, we have developed a unique concept that proposes a single shared space for three faiths; Christianity, Judaism and Islam. The project, built from a collaboration between the three Abrahamic faiths, explores how space can be utilised through innovative design, overcoming cost and land use demands.
By sensitively addressing the similarities and differences of these religions, we have used the notion of natural light, beauty, washing and water to design a space that celebrates the unity of faith. The idea encourages debate around whether a development like this could ever be built, exploring how architecture can break down boundaries between communities. The concept has attracted plenty of interest and will be featured in Terry Biddington’s book ‘Multifaith Space: History, Development, Design and Practice,’ which is out next year. We are taking part in an LSA organised roundtable discussion on the realisation of community projects, with fundraising and site finding still in progression.
