Styles House redevelopment proposal
Investigating Building New Council Homes at Styles House
September 2019
September 2019
Styles House TMO previously asked residents if they wanted to explore developing new council homes,
which residents voted yes to. The TMO Development Sub Committee has spent the last few months working with the Council to engage and brief the consultants we need to be able to develop ideas and test options
for building new Council Homes at Styles House.
We appointed Igloo as our Development Managers, and they have co-ordinating the work on the project.
Their team is led by Kym Shaen-Carter. Igloo provided the management support for Leathermarket TMO new council homes at Martlake Court.
We are also working with Bell Phillips Architects, who produced the last proposal for new homes for
Styles House TMO a couple of years ago. There are other consultants who will provide specialist advice on structures, environmental issues, and heating and electrical systems.
There have been drop in sessions for residents with Bell Phillips and Igloo with several options of building types and locations presented, followed by Igloo visiting residents to understand their views.
The most common view was that the footprint of the building should be a small as possible to protect garden space, on the East side (tube station) with residents less concerned about the height of the building.
Styles House residents took part in a walking tour around the local area organised by Bell Phillips to look at different options for materials and the outside appearance of new homes. The tour also visited
Marklake Court, which are new Council homes which have been developed by a TMO in Southwark. Residents were closely involved in the design of the building and individual choices for internal decoration and finishes. The block has been built in a tight space, replacing council garages. Those who have been inside the flats commented on the high quality of the build.
The next stages of the project will be developing designs for new homes in more detail. There will be more sessions for everyone to provide input as the design develops.
TfL development and shared area
Part of the agreement for development is a shared area between the new TfL building and styles House. The Development Sub Committee has given TfL ideas about designs for this space.
TfL has held sessions for residents of Styles House and neighbouring properties. Feedback on their design can be given by Tuesday 26 November 2019 ,go to

The proposals from the TMO for new Council homes and TfL for their new office are expected to be submitted as planning applications to the Council in March 2020.
