Architecture and Building Surveying
RKG were appointed by Eldon Housing Trust to prepare concept regeneration plans for this important & prominent site at the heart of Croydon town centre.
The plan is to establish a sustainable, high density, mixed used scheme that delivers considerable new community facilities to Croydon. It will include 9,700m2 of affordable apartments, and over 2,500m2 of office space, retail, cultural and leisure facilities.
Proposals outlined a high-rise mixed-use scheme with a split 18 storey tower & adjoining 6-9 storey community blocks contributing to the wider regeneration of Croydon. Feasibility options high-light proposed building use - external appearance of the scheme has yet to be developed.
Careful analysis of the site and the city's history and cultural make up helped inform the plan, with the aim of ensuring it has a real sense of place and identity as part of this multi-cultural community.
