Building better homes for flatsharers
LOM is working with Galliard Homes and Princeton on proposals for a mixed-use, co-living led development in Hounslow, West London.
The vision for the development at 1-3 Bath Road is to create quality homes for young flatsharers and make a positive contribution to the development of Hounslow town centre. Co-living is a form of build-to-rent housing that aims to create an active community by providing living accommodation alongside shared amenities for working, socialising and relaxing.
The proposed 15-storey building will provide professionally managed accommodation consisting of studios and shared spaces. Each studio is carefully considered to create quality personal living space consisting of a bedroom, living space and ensuite bathroom.
Residents also have access to a wide range of managed shared spaces. These include the lobby and concierge, working space and a library, lounges and event spaces, communal kitchens, gym, laundrette, games room and roof terraces.
The modular nature of co-living is celebrated in the facades, which have a clearly defined grid that wraps around all sides of the structure, with individual units articulated within the grid.
The building’s stepped profile and curved edges create a distinctive marker for the town that complements the nearby civic centre, Hounslow House. Public realm improvements, active frontages and a public foyer complete the scheme and will improve connections from the High Street to Hounslow House.
We have designed the building to achieve a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ sustainability rating.
Co-living is allowing us to reimagine how we live by providing high quality amenities and shared spaces to bring people together as one community.
