Renovating Historic Housing Through Community Led Design
HTA’s transformation of Sandringham Mansions for Soho Housing Association combined architectural innovation with deep resident engagement. Between 1986 and 1991, 157 Victorian model dwellings were refurbished to modern standards, retaining a diverse, mixed community in the heart of the West End. The complex, phased works preserved independent shops, enhanced safety and access, and created new homes and communal spaces, reviving this historic building as a place people continue to call home.
