ExA worked alongside dRMM, Adam Khan Architects, JA Projects, to develop a vision that seeks to strengthen a sense of community through an inclusive and unifying public realm.

Tustin Estate Regeneration

London

ExA were appointed on the community led regeneration of Tustin Estate. Following a community ballot to support redevelopment, existing residents were involved in selecting the design team through a ‘meet the design team’ competition to progress the scheme through a hybrid planning application and multi phased delivery.

A mixed architectural design team has worked in close collaboration with the local community to develop a masterplan of 690 homes, comprising 68% affordable housing, made up of council rent, shared equity, key worker accommodation, homes for over 55s and homes for private sale to raise funds for council housing. A replacement primary school will be provided along with a re-provision of commercial space. An improved and expanded green space will sit at the centre of the estate.

The mixed team comprised of a number of architects, dRMM, Adam Khan Architects, JA Projects and Beyond the Box (engagement). ExA were commissioned to work alongside all consultants. The challenge was to work collaboratively to realise the ambitions of the proposals which has proven, with discipline of process, to be creatively rewarding.
