Blackbird Leys, Oxford

About:

We were commissioned by Oxford City Council to explore a number of design options and development masterplans for two key sites within the Blackbird Leys area.

The sites themselves are markedly different. The first, Knights Road, looks at a new build: entirely residential development to the west of the existing Blackbird Leys District Centre offers a number of new dwelling types that look out across onto existing green space.

It is imagined that this site would be completed prior to the more significant works imagined for the District Centre. This element was more challenging and required review of the existing mixed-use area in order to propose a new scheme with varying uses.

In addition to these development schemes, we were also asked to conduct a Heritage Assessment for the existing Blackbird Leys church building.
