Brentford Lock West Masterplan

Camlins led in the masterplanning of the canalside brownfield site at Brentford Lock West for ISIS Waterside Regeneration. This was, above all else, a place making proposal. The priority was to create a new neighbourhood where people would want to live and visit. The urban planning, architecture and public space design are carefully integrated in all respects to achieve this. The overarching design principles that have guided the proposals include the importance of a friendly neighbourhood, animation of the waterside, permeability, pedestrian domination, access, inclusivity, playable spaces, planting, management and sustainability. We took up subsequent appointments for phased implementation, with Phase 2 occupied in 2019.
