Vacant Spaces

The Winch and design practice Public Works were commissioned by Camden Council in July 2023 to work with residents of Hilgrove Estate and the wider neighbourhood to imagine a future for a former Council storage unit on the estate.

Through events, workshops and door-knocking, we gathered ideas for how the space could be used to bring the community together and make the estate a more sustainable, creative and healthy place.

We presented what we heard from residents to Camden Council in November 2023. We also shared ideas on options for how the space could be used, what it could look like, and how residents could be involved in making decisions about it. 

During 2024, the Council will make plans for what happens next. You can find out more on the Council’s Hilgrove website: https://hilgrove.commonplace.is/
