Stonebridge Hillside Hub Open House Virtual Tour

The Stonebridge Hillside Hub is a mixed use building in Stonebridge, north west London. Two 'wings' accommodate a health centre and a retail unit, both topped with mixed tenure residential units and fused together by a central community facility.

The residential section of the Hub provides 25 apartments for shared ownership, with 16 allocated parking spaces and 34 units for sale to the open market, each with its own parking space. The 1-bed, 2-bed and studio flats look out onto a landscaped garden at the rear of the scheme.

The apartments are designed to National Housing Scheme Development Standards, are covered by a 12 year NHBC warranty and are rated EcoHomes 'Very Good'. The residential apartments won the What House Silver Award for Best Starter Home 2009 and the Hub was shortlisted for the Best Housing project in the Building Awards 2009.

In 2010 the Hillside Hub achieved a Building for Life Gold Standard and a Building for Life Award, and the Primary Care Centre won a Building Better Healthcare Award. In 2011 the Hub received a Special Civic Trust Award for Community Impact & Engagement.
