Twickenham Green Development | Westcoast Windows

Westcoast Windows is working with developers London Square to supply composite windows for the redevelopment of the former Greggs Bakery site in Twickenham, known as Twickenham Green.

Following planning approval in 2023, London Square is creating 116 new homes, including 58 affordable homes, as well as commercial space and 100 car parking spaces.

After extensive consultation with the local community and council, London Square received planning approval to demolish the bakery buildings and create a new mixed-use development. This will include much-needed new homes and commercial space – with 50% of the new homes being affordable for local people.

The new homes, designed by Stanford Eatwell Architecture, will contribute to the Borough’s housing need.

Sympathetically designed with the existing neighbourhood in mind

Being intricately linked to the existing neighbourhood, the quality of the detailing is very important. The scheme features modern, crisp details – standing seam mansard roofs, built-in window flower boxes, oversized corner balconies and industrial references such as exposed steel beams and a pitched roofscape. The material palette is largely brick, with numerous mixes and finishes to reflect the rich pattern of tones in the surrounding streets.

The entrance buildings on Edwin Road follow the established building line and roof form, with the commercial units facing the street. The central mews street reflects the character of the local area. The river edge is defined by a collection of two- to five-storey apartment buildings of varying forms, materials and roofscapes, as a reference to the site’s industrial history. These buildings are set back from the River Crane to create a generous buffer for biodiverse landscaping.
