Silver Linings
The history and conservation of Battersea’s Park Town Estate.
Much of what we do at daab design stems from our meticulous research process. We are passionate about communities, placemaking and conservation, qualities embodied by the Park Town Estate in Battersea where we live and work. We set to researching the history of the area throughout lockdown, resulting in a series of downloadable interactive community resources titled Silver Linings.
Silver Linings is a four-part series through which we hope to contribute more than just architectural knowledge to our local area. The research will highlight the incredible design already instilled in the Park Town Estate, sharing the opportunities for enhancing the diamond development and the buildings within it.
The first series of Silver Linings is available to download as a free PDF here, including a mapped neighbourhood walk of the estate pointing out interesting features and facts.
We will release three more editions in this Silver Linings series, including a Park Town Estate home maintenance guide to help residents get the most from their homes.
All resources will shared on our Instagram and LinkedIn pages, as well as sent directly to our newsletter subscribers, so follow along and sign up to our mailing list here.
