Mountearl Gardens

 

Our first collaboration with Pocket Living delivered 32 much-needed sustainable homes in just 10 months.

Completed in September 2016, Mountearl Gardens is a development of 32 affordable homes aimed at local first-time buyers in an area of acute housing demand.

The scheme provides 29 one-bed and 3 two-bed apartments – built to level 4 of the then Code for Sustainable Homes – on a former garage site on the Handsome Estate in Streatham.

Mountearl Gardens was developer Pocket Living’s first project using the Vision Volumetric system and established a template for opening up infill sites on existing housing estates – adding much-needed homes while also enhancing the streetscape.

Tide has since completed four more schemes for the first-home specialist, comprising more than 300 homes.

Flexible in design

The development has a complex massing, varying between one, two and three storeys to optimise the number of homes while maintaining views and access for existing estate residents. It has a striking brick, metal and glazed facade, with the clever use of perforated metal cladding creating a secure and self-policing environment.

Landscaped public areas and terraces offer high-quality outdoor space for both new residents and the existing community.

Pocket is always looking for new and innovative ways to help house London’s first-time buyers. What we are doing at Mountearl Gardens is hugely exciting as it will significantly speed up the delivery of affordable homes for local people, whilst at the same time reducing the disruption to local residents.
