Belle Vue, Hampstead Green

Description

A holistic retirement community of sixty apartments in Hampsted, set within landscaped courts and gardens with communal and neighbourhood facilities. Most of the apartments have been created as dual aspect, with large windows and deep inset corner balconies, preventing overlooking from the neighbouring structures. The staggered arrangement of the building allows for a subtle delineation between Belle Vue’s public-facing facilities, located at the northern end of the plan, and the residents’ private spaces. Occupying the lower ground floor, both the pool and the large residents’ lounge overlook the courtyard with floor to ceiling glazing providing panoramic views. Belle Vue won a RIBA London regional award in 2022.
