TFL Capacity Studies for Ten Sites, London

Joon was a design lead for the project. He was responsible for delivering site context research and development capacity work. This study explores the development potential on series of 10 sites identified by TfL within their landownership for primarily, residential development. This was a multi-disciplinary study that encompassed urban design, architecture, town planning, engineering and cost consultancy services. Each site identified single or multiple options that would optimise development on the site. The illustrated options considered the optimisation of capacity on the site based on identified constraints from the urban context, site history, planning policy, and engineering risks. The study results assume that the same methodology and deliverables will be adopted for further TfL sites, throughout London.
