Greenwich Peninsula Residential Developments, London, UK
Buro Happold worked as part of a consortium to develop
a masterplan for this 120-hectare site which includes
the famous Millennium Dome and land on the western
site of the Peninsula. Aiming to create a huge mixed
use development comprising 10,000 homes, shops and
leisure facilities, the planned development is centred
around the North Greenwich underground station and
multi-modal interchange for buses, trams and ‘park
and ride’.
With architects CF Møller we developed designs for
a group of three-storey townhouses and a 12-storey
residential block, to be split between owner occupiers,
shared-ownership buyers and housing association
tenants. With Jestico + Whiles, London we designed a
development comprising 207 new residential units for
sale and rent.
In line with the London plan, all properties were
designed to achieve the Code for Sustainable Homes 4*
Rating. A phased Energy Strategy provides a temporary
biomass heating solution, until the site is sufficiently
developed to activate a district heating system. All
properties were designed to be ready for the switchover.
Economic conditions mean that the development of
Greenwich Peninsula has been suspended since late
2008. When work recommences this project will create
a new and vibrant ‘quarter’ of London, convenient for
commercial centres such as Canary Wharf and The City
of London and integrating sustainability with high-end
luxury and affordable housing.
