Silchester East and West Options Appraisal The Architect The architecture, masterplanning and urban design of Porphyrios Associates are about place making and robust, sustainable homes, buildings and towns. The inspiration for our projects always comes from the urban context; social, cultural, constructional and architectural. Architecture and urban design always deal with the interpretation of the site and the surrounding area. Our buildings give continuity and relevance to the culture of our neighbourhoods, towns and cities.

Silchester East and West Stage 1 Options Carried Forward Options Appraisal Today’s event Today we are focusing on the redevelopment option. In early spring we will hold another event to explore the planned maintenance and infjll/refurbishment options. As part of this stage of the Options Appraisal, we are working on testing and refjning the following redevelopment sub-options: • Stage 1 - Option 1 Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea land only, retain towers • Stage 1 - Option 4 All land, retain towers • Stage 1 - Option 5 All land, demolish but not replace towers • Stage 1 - Option 6 All land, demolish and replace towers (with new high-rise block) We want to show you how the masterplan area changes when we include, or don’t include, difgerent buildings and how this impacts on the number of new homes we could build. We would like to hear your views on this and the new design. We also want your feedback on proposed green space, road layouts and height of buildings. PORPHYRIOS A S S O C I A T E S
