Overview

The former Harrow Road Police Station at 325 Harrow Road is a Grade II listed building. It makes a principle contribution to Harrow Road, and also establishes a local streetscape. The site also has direct frontage onto Woodfield Road, to the side and rear and sets a local contextual reference, whilst improving the quality of the immediate area. The functional division of the former police yard into communal gardens for the apartments offers an enhanced natural surveillance of the area, potentially increasing security in the area by reducing opportunities for crime. The incidental circulation of the new residents in and around the buildings offers a renewed sense of energy to the area and the opportunity to strengthen the local community identity
