54 self-contained apartments for social rent above the community centre, eight of them fully wheelchair accessible. All have generous balconies, with access to communal areas and facilities.

The regeneration of Burridge Gardens - a 1930s Peabody estate in Wandsworth - will result in 658 new homes for existing residents and newcomers and over 13,000 sqm of open space. The second phase of this project provides 198 affordable homes over three buildings, with 54 designed specifically for older people and situated above a new community centre overlooking a large public square. Eight of these homes are fully wheelchair accessible.
Developed with LB Wandsworth, the building is managed by Peabody for people already living in the borough, helping the local authority provide suitable, high quality, accommodation for an ageing population.
Every property is larger than before. All apartments in this building have generous balconies, staggered to maximise opportunities for neighbourly conversation. Communal areas on the third floor include lounges and a terrace overlooking the main square allowing the residents to be close to all the action, not tucked away from it.
Here, you can also find assisted bathrooms, a laundry, spa and hairdressers and a guest suite. These spaces help to create a community within a community.
The building is wrapped in a distinct black wire cut brick. We have collaborated with sculptors Valda Jackson and Rodney Harris, and the residents to create a 7 metre high sculpted brick relief. Forming part of the building fabric, "Espalier" is a tree of life, complete with symbols of the community and what it means to be at home.
All three phases and every building in the masterplan have been designed by Hawkins\Brown, with the third phase completing in 2026. We have nearly doubled the number of homes, whilst increasing the amount of external space, introducing retail and commercial space, and providing Peabody offices and a community hub at its heart.

“Working with Peabody over all three phases and on every aspect of the development, from its footprint to its fixture and fittings, has enabled the design to evolve, flex and adapt to the shifting needs of the existing residents, as well as the aspirations of a new generation of occupants.
“Opening up Burridge Gardens not only benefits its residents but also those in the neighbouring streets. The new routes through the estate from the Common to the station reconnect the wider neighbourhood too."
