UK: Mitheridge Capital Management and LGL have secured planning permission for a coliving and light-industrial development in Brixton, south London.
Designed by PLP Architecture, Hardess Yard will offer 320 coliving studios, 1,400 square metres of industrial floorspace for local creative SMEs, newly landscaped public spaces and a pocket park.
The joint venture partners are targeting WELL Platinum and BREEAM Outstanding ratings for the development.
Daniel Rastegar, partner at Mitheridge, said: “This scheme promises to bring significant benefit to Brixton and Lambeth, providing quality homes on flexible and accessible terms. We’re grateful to all those who contributed to the public consultation, and to Lambeth Council for their support.”
Harry Green, director at LGL, added: “Across London, there are countless under-utilised sites with the potential to house new communities. At Hardess Yard, we are excited to bring forward this transformational vision together with Mitheridge.”
Andrei Martin, partner at PLP Architecture, added: “Drawing from our decade-long experience in delivering shared living projects, our vision for Hardess Yard expands the traditional co-living model by offering a vibrant multi-layered social core alongside state-of-the-art light industrial workspaces, all designed to empower residents to live, work and connect in a thriving new heart of Lambeth.”
