Hammersmith Academy extension and co-living homes on Goldhawk Road, West London

The underused site at 190-194 Goldhawk Road is centrally located (Public Transport Accessibility
Level 5) 500 metres from Shepherd's Bush Green and 200 metres from Ravenscourt Park. However,
it is long and thing with a narrow frontage to Goldhawk Road and a close relationship with residential uses to the east and west making it more challenging to develop.
The northern part of the site is adjacent to the Hammersmith Academy and initial discussions
with the school have highlighted an opportunity to potentially expand their campus on this part of
the site. This would serve to meet the Academy's functional requirements without placing too much
development pressure on their existing site. In response to the constraints and opportunities
of the southern portion of the site on to Goldhawk Road the principle of a Co-Living residential
scheme has been developed.
