Daventry House, Lisson Arches

Built

A landmark Community Supported Housing scheme providing 59 affordable social rent homes for elderly people to live safely, actively and independently and new business enterprise spaces.

A previously problematic site was transformed for Westminster City Council to provide affordable homes for older people, allowing them to live safely and independently. Daventry House delivers 59 social rent homes and a flat for a live-in manager. The 13-storey scheme includes flexible enterprise space for the Church Street community. Its distinctive position on axis with Lisson Grove forms a gateway to the regeneration area, enhancing the neighbourhood streetscape.
