What is Airspace Development?
Airspace development is the process of building new homes above existing buildings, typically by adding one or more storeys to rooftops.
Rather than demolishing and rebuilding, airspace development makes better use of land that is already developed. It is one of the most effective ways to deliver new housing in dense urban areas like London.
Key Benefits of Airspace Development
Creates new homes without losing existing ones
Generates additional income for freeholders and asset owners
Funds upgrades to roofs, lifts, façades and communal areas
Improves energy performance and building lifespan
Preserves communities and minimises displacement
Reduces waste and environmental impact
Limits street-level disruption through off-site fabrication
Advances in modern methods of construction allow rooftop homes to be delivered efficiently, with shorter build programmes and reduced impact on residents below.
Our Approach to Airspace Development?
Every project begins with a clear understanding of the building, its residents and its wider context.
We work closely with:
Private freeholders
Enfranchised leaseholders
Housing associations
Local authorities
Asset managers and institutional owners
Our goal is always the same: to create well-designed homes while improving the existing building and delivering lasting value for owners and communities.
