St Marks Road

North Kensington, London

General needs housing for
Notting Hill Housing Trust

The dwellings are designed to 
have south facing living areas 
and all houses have gardens.  
Flat entrances and external 
stairs are covered with a 
sheltering roof continuing 
the local tradition of entrance 
canopies.

Thirteen new family houses and 
nineteen flats face a busy street. 
Narrow frontage dwellings are mixed 
in a terrace on the street frontage 
maximising the density while using 
a well tested urban form.

The building steps forward and back 
to articulate the terrace while brick 
piers and raised planters strongly 
define the street boundary.

Through an archway in the main terrace 
a small mews area provides further 
houses and flats, including three units 
for disabled people.  

There are 17 off street car spaces 
and 6 on plot in addition to 
on street parking.
