HUT are excited to announce our planning permission win for this mixed-use project in Kensington, West London. A derelict former restaurant on a prominent, traditional corner plot is reimagined to serve as a forward-thinking nursery & community space. The focus is a vibrant Kindergarten accessed via a street-front family café with clever zoning to provide the Nursery entrance/reception at the beginning and end of the day. Existing basement space becomes an extension of the café plus a flexible community space for yoga classes, book clubs and a public kids’ soft-play arena. The project enables complete renovation of a beautiful shop front and brings life back to this abandoned building. A range of required facilities and storage functions are slotted into the plans, with imaginative sliding or half-height partitions ensuring flexibility for the future
