PRP has won planning approval for a new community facility and park in Myatt’s Field North, in Lambeth, south London.

The scheme will see the creation of one of the largest new parks in London outside the Olympics.  PRP associate director Richard Harvey said: “The community centre is designed to slip under the new park and achieve a Breeam ‘very good’ rating.”

Harvey added that the building was designed to maximise solar gain - useful for interior photography, while the sloping grass roof would provide thermal mass and public amenity space.  The centre will feature a cafe, creche, function and community rooms, music room, IT suite and a management office for the estate.
