GREENFORD GREEN - THE LOCK
The west London landmark tower and external spaces occupy the southern half of the former Hovis Bakery site, forming the gateway to the Greystar-inspired Greenford Green neighbourhood. The community vision and high-quality placemaking is underpinned by the heritage value of the Grand Union Canal, complimenting sensitively created new public realm and social infrastructure. SLD were commissioned by Telford to deliver the podium gardens and roof terraces. Site-wide net-positive biodiverse green infrastructure and sustainable urban drainage systems helped to achieve the targeted air-quality neutral standard and ameliorate the urban heat island effect. SLD produced a full management plan.
