Greenwich Millennium Village

Top floor of live-work units opens to private gardens over one half of multi-storey car park.

Treatment A - Section showing typical arrangement of off-plot, multi-storey parking treatment within the scheme.

Red: The route from cars to homes is too indirect for some residents.

Amber: The aim of providing car-free streets results in relatively low parking provision and inert streetscapes.

Green: The car park fits neatly against the section of the live-work units with landscaping over and to back, whilst cars are moved to a secure unit at the edge of the site allowing streets to be pedestrianised and used for play.

Treatment B - Podium is screened. Maisonettes (centre) open onto street or into courtyard.

Amber: Physical distance between car and homes is restrictive, however, detailing and storey heights make what is a typically claustrophobic design more acceptable.

Green: Includes secure storage for 200 bicycles and a carwash bay, and a high percentage of secured and monitored parking. Parking is wrapped in buildings to create active streets, and the parking also supports high-quality amenity space above.
