Portobello Square, Kensington

Client: Catalyst

Role: Architecture, Masterplanning & Consultation

Wornington Green is one of the practice's largest and highest profile regeneration schemes. Located at the northern limit of the Portobello Road in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea the development will eventually provide circa 1,000 new homes, a major new London square and will reinstate links between Portobello Road and Ladbroke Grove.

The final approved design solution is the culmination of over five years' community and stakeholder consultation and offers an exemplary model for large-scale urban regeneration, in which public housing is seamlessly integrated with private housing and commercial elements.

PRP are now progressing the detail design and construction documentation for the first delivery phase where there is a continuing focus from the client, planning and stakeholder groups to ensure consistency and quality in construction. Our active use of 3D concept modelling during the planning design stage has continued into the detail design through a series of 3D lead elevation bay and component studies which explore and communicate the detail quality intent alongside working construction details.
