Brentford Lock West is a large regeneration project on a former industrial site alongside the Grand Union Canal for Waterside Places. This phase by Mæ adds 157 homes to the distinctive mixed-use masterplan, setting a new standard in quality housing for Brentford. Reflecting the site’s industrial past, distinctive saw-tooth roofs mark the corners of the site while bringing light into upper floor homes. A simple, yet robust attitude has been taken to detailing; an earthy material palette of blond brick, in-situ concrete and reconstituted stone has been selected to complement the historic setting, emerging context and age well.
