Scope and content
Regeneration masterplan for Swiss Cottage, an area in the London Borough of Camden. The plan focused on the compact site of the old Swiss Cottage leisure centre next to the Swiss Cottage Library, a grade II listed structure, both designed by Sir Basil Spence. It comprised of a leisure centre, social housing, a doctor's surgery and Hampstead Theatre.
The masterplan focused on improving pedestrian access and visual linkages between key roads in the area, whilst retaining green spaces and mature trees. It also planned a shared entrance for the library and leisure centre with connected retail development. There was also a preference for greater physical and visual transparency with open space and the leisure centre for improved community connection.
Archive material has 2 distinct phases to this project: 1999-2001 and 2004. Material dated from 2004 material has project code SWIS2 and focuses on residential and leisure centre developments.
