We were appointed by Unibail Rodamco Westfield to undertake work on bringing forward a revised residential scheme alongside Glenn Howells Architects for a site known as Westfield Block C. This site forms part of a previously consented larger masterplan and the context on which the site sits had changed significantly from when the original consent was granted in 2017.
The proposals will bring forward c. 1700 new homes with a new publicly accessible 1.2acre podium park in the centre of the scheme. There were several levels constraints and complexities associated with the delivery of the scheme due to the construction of earlier phases of development including the shopping mall known as Westfield White City, associated residential blocks, and the existing bus layover complex upon which half of the new podium park for the development would be constructed on top of.
The scheme will deliver much needed green space for the local residents and aid in the overall wayfinding and movement strategy for this part of the masterplan site. Alongside residential, there will be a strong focus on a commercial offer which is tailored towards smaller businesses and local makers to compliment the existing large retail offer within the adjacent Westfield White City shopping centre.
The planting proposals are heavily native themed with a strong focus on biodiversity benefits. There will be over 200 new trees planted with the delivery of the scheme as well as biodiverse roof on all rooftops.
