Planning success for two schemes for 73 new homes for the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham (LBH&F)
Farm Lane & Lille Road by LDS
Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands achieves planning permission for two environmentally advanced residential schemes for client London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham.
Farm Lane Fulham apartments:
The scheme at Lillie Road has 42 new homes (50% social rent/shared ownership), a new community hall and public play space for local residents set in a generous new landscape. The site presented challenging constraints including a former tenants’ hall and public right of way, existing mature trees and a neighbouring terrace of listed Georgian buildings. The new community hall is on the west of the apartment building and is set on a new pocket square with a footpath that ties the space into the West Kensington and Gibbs Green estate.
Lillie Road property in the north of Fulham:
The Farm Lane scheme is on the site of a vacant children’s home and has 31 new dwellings of which 50% are social rent/shared ownership). The landscape design achieves a net gain in biodiversity and exceeds the required urban greening factor of 0.5. New trees set in green spaces are framed by lush hedges around the site, special bird and bat boxes will be installed and the buildings and external cycle and refuse stores have blue and green roofs.
Lillie Road property in Fulham:
The homes will be highly sustainable and constructed using high quality robust materials. The brick clad buildings adopt zero-carbon design principles to meet Passivhaus Classic standards with mostly dual-aspect glazing, low form factor and high-performing building fabric. On-site renewables are maximised through the use of roof level photovoltaics and electric vehicle charging points will be provided in addition to generous cycle storage.
The buildings are highly flexible fully accessible layouts enabling future change to safeguard embodied carbon.
Farm Lane property in Fulham:
Cllr Andrew Jones, LBH&F Cabinet Member for The Economy, said: “There’s a chronic shortage of affordable homes right across the country, so we are working hard to deliver more of these to help make H&F the best place in which to live, work and socialise.’’ Douglas Inglis, Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands director, commented that: ‘’These homes have been carefully designed to sit in the urban fabric of existing communities with the lightest carbon footprint and a wonderful green outlook.’’

Alex Lifschutz Talk
Alex Lifschutz talk on ‘The Architecture of Communinty Centres’, London
24 Nov 2011
Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club
To accompany 20//20’s exhibition at Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club, we are hosting a series of events. On 24th November we will investigate the future of the architecture of community centres with our special guest speaker Alex Lifschutz, director of Lifshutz Davidson Sandilands.
Lecture by world-renowned architect on his current project The Jewish Community Centre. Lifschutz’s work comprises a wide variety of award-winning projects including supermarkets, a green power station, the Royal Victoria Dock Bridge, offices and residential buildings. For over 20 years he has worked on London’s South Bank for, among others, clients Coin Street Community Builders.
Such projects include working with local groups and organisations to regenerate the area, drawing up master plans and completing the Palm Housing Coop at Broadwall and Oxo Tower Wharf. Most recently, he worked on the Doon Street community swimming and sports centre with its residential tower.
Alex is interested in the ability of design to create buildings and cities that respond to change and that are easily adapted by those who use them. He has developed construction and furniture systems that empower users to easily alter buildings both in the initial construction process and throughout their life.
His talk will concentrate on the Jewish Community Centre but will ask what is the future of architecture designed for community use?
