ASHCHURCH PLACE
Extra Info
Ashchurch Place is a delightful street based urban quarter of 2 to 4 storey terraced houses laid out around 3 mews streets and 2 new tree lined public squares.
The new mews streets connect Ashchurch Park Villas in the west with Ashchurch Grove and Goldhawk Road in the east. At their intersection, at the heart of the project, these open out into a small public square.
At the eastern edge of the site, the buildings follow the slow curve of Ashchurch Grove and existing mature trees are retained.
A state of the art sheltered housing scheme is located in a terrace along the northern section of the site.
“GAZING OUT FROM THE FRONT DECK INTO THE SUNSHINE, AND WITH A WILD OVERGROWN GARDEN LAID OUT BEFORE YOU – DRUGS OR NO DRUGS, THERE ARE PROBABLY FEW PLACES YOU’D RATHER BE.”
JAN-CARLOS KUCHAREK, THE RIBA JOURNAL, AUGUST 2007
