Introduction Meet the architects - Hawkins\Brown

Welcome to the public consultation for the regeneration of the Farnham and Hilldene Estate.

Hawkins\Brown is an internationally renowned practice of architects, designers and researchers.

Havering Council have been consulting with residents about the future of the Farnham & Hilldene Estate since 2016.

The Farnham and Hilldene shopping area is a key place for Harold Hill’s residents and businesses. The area needs investment to help continue to make it a beacon for the neighbourhood and the whole community to continue to enjoy.

The Council have begun to explore what change the investment in the area could deliver and the benefits it can bring residents, business and the wider community.

People are at the centre of everything they do and they put dialogue, engagement and consultation at the heart of making successful homes that contribute to neighbourhoods and reflect the history and heritage of the local area. Their expertise covers a range of residential building types and mixed-use schemes, across new developments and regeneration programmes. They were shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize for the redevelopment of the Park Hill Estate in Sheffield, and most recently, were winners of the 2020 AJ100 Best Use of Technology Award for their in-house carbon emission reduction tool.

This event has been designed to provide an update on progress, introduced the architects and their initial thoughts, and understand your priorities for the area.
