🏘️ We recently facilitated workshops for Hadley Property Group's 980 Great West Road redevelopment in Brentford, in partnership with Metropolitan Workshop LLP, Haworth Tompkins & McGregor Coxall. 📋 4 out of 6 sessions have taken place so far. Each session entailed co-producing ideas and opportunities for the future plans with local residents, exploring key themes such as; 'Accessibility & Navigation' and 'Green, Blue (Canal/River) & Play Spaces'. Upcoming sessions will see us focus on practical facilities in the area and spaces for young people. 🤝 We are loving the creativity and ideas coming from the community and are excited to share the learnings as this work progresses. A huge thanks to everyone who has shared their insights so far - we look forward to sharing more updates on this exciting project soon! #CoDesign #CommunityEngagement #Workshop #Housing #ResidentEngagement
Well this is nice. We recently welcomed residents from across Hounslow to help us kick off our newest co-design programme on the Great West Road in Brentford. Facilitated by ourselves and a team made up of Neighbourly Lab, Metropolitan Workshop, Haworth Tompkins and McGregor Coxall, we spent two evenings discussing Accessibility & Navigation and Green, Blue & Play Spaces for the forthcoming redevelopment of the now defunct office HQ. Neighbourly Lab and Metropolitan Workshop have been working closely with Hadley's Comms and Design teams the last few months to curate a six-step co-design process to inform our masterplan. We've engaged a broad and diverse group of people from the local area, asking them to lend their lived experience and expertise to inform our proposals. The group will play a fundamental role in the development process, with sessions hosted specifically for women's and girls' safety and young people - groups commonly "designed out" of public spaces. The co-design sessions will cover these six key themes: · Accessibility and Navigation · Green, Blue, and Play Spaces · Entertainment and Leisure facilities · Women and Girls Safe Spaces · Practical Facilities · Youth Facilities Across the sessions, we will continue to work collaboratively with local people from all walks of life, ensuring our designs are rooted in longevity to benefit the community now and well into the future. We look forward to welcoming more residents to our upcoming sessions and reporting back on progress and influence in the coming months.
