Somerleyton Road footprint workshop
igloo are acting as development managers for the Somerleyton Road project (a scheme being brought forward by Lambeth Council, Ovalhouse theatre and Brixton Green), which although not an igloo Regeneration Fund project, is using footprint® principles to guide the design. In April we held a footprint® workshop at no.6 Somerleyton Road with the design team, including masterplanner and architect Metropolitan Workshop and block architects Zac Monroe, Foster Wilson, Mae and Haworth Tomkins. Splitting into four groups, each covering one of the footprint® themes of health, happiness & wellbeing, regeneration, environmental sustainability and urban design, the workshop was an opportunity to review the emerging designs, identifying opportunities for improvement and actions for the design and future management team.
