Nile Lodge is a Locally Listed building set within generous grounds in Ealing, West London.
Originally a single family dwelling, the building has been extended and modified several times, and was most recently in use as a convent.
Inspired by the collegiate character of the surrounding context and colonnaded courtyard typologies of university buildings, MDLR’s design proposals envisage a new shared living scheme focussed around an internal shared courtyard.
Symmetrical in plan, the courtyard type building is formed by the retained locally Listed element – which contains all of the shared amenities and facilities – and the creation of 2 new rear wings.
Roof forms and geometry reference the existing retained building, and the Victorian character of the surrounding context.
Just a short distance from Ealing Broadway, the scheme offers residents a sense of sanctuary and seclusion, with the convenience of city living within walking distance.
The proposals will provide much needed affordable accommodation for key workers & young professionals in the locale.
In the rear, 9 new generous family homes are proposed. The houses are arranged to form a shared ‘street’ accessible to pedestrians only where residents can socialise and relax.
Various house types offer a range of living styles and the mix of contemporary forms compliment one another as well as the neighbouring Conservation Area.
