AMA is working in the Mott MacDonald team on two projects in
Peckham. The Cator Street Dementia Daycare facility (centre of Excellence), and
Clifton Housing. The housing scheme will provide 8 units, including one
accessible unit, and is currently on site and due for completion early in 2016.
This is a very difficult and tight site. Formerly a series
of underused garages it was important to knit the proposals with the local
infrastructure and community needs. The project was overwhelmingly popular with
local residents and at public meetings the reaction was totally positive and
the proposals seen as a strong indicator of major improvements in the area.
AMA’s role was to develop proposals for this tight site and
get the best orientation possible on this polluted and inhospitable road. This
was achieved by good acoustic insulation, putting living rooms to the quieter
east side, and the option of using fresh air mechanically delivered from the
cleaner rear areas.
