THE OLD SHOE FACTORY, AKA ETRONA MEWS, GRANVILLE ROAD, CHILDS HILL, LONDON NW11
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.
All the units are arranged around a communal courtyard, and backs onto a local park, so giving plenty of light and pleasant leafy views.
