Airspace development refers to the creation of new homes in the ‘air-rights’ on top of existing buildings, by usually one or two additional storeys.
By utilising the existing rooftops, a huge number of new homes can be built with minimal disruption to existing communities and the London skyline – an exciting prospect in a city where the supply of land and homes is limited.
Airspace development is also far more sustainable than the prevailing system for new-build housing. Existing buildings are preserved and often enhanced in order to improve saleability. Older buildings are given a new lease of life, rather than falling into disrepair or being demolished unnecessarily.
The development of technology, specifically with regards to materials and construction techniques, also means that Airspace developments can now be produced with greater ease and cost efficiency.
