The Scene

Description

Breathing life into a previous builders' yard by framing it with the Terrace, Link, and Flatiron blocks, Ely court opens a new public garden square in front of Alpha House and provides over 100m2 of play space. The scheme reinstates block and street pattern of 19th C London 'suburb' by reintroducing the Mews, a shared surface with new street trees. All new homes feature private front and rear gardens, while all public spaces are overlooked by windows, residents' balconies, and roof gardens.
