As part of the wider regeneration of Central Somers Town, Neilcott was appointed to design and construct a new community hub for local residents. The new facilities have been designed to high quality and sustainability standards, achieving BREEAM and connecting into the Kings Cross Decentralised Energy Network.  

Accommodation include new spaces for St. Aloysius Nursery, a relocated community play area and 10 new affordable family housing units, as well as improvements to the immediate public realm and provision of access arrangements.

The relocation of the community play area to the inside of the community hub released an area of valuable outdoor space for the wider community. Space is used effectively to include a rooftop MUGA pitch.

The 10 affordable family units enjoy airy open plan design, with large balconies and will be offered to local families in line with the agreed Local Authority lettings policy.
