Local: Kensington - Open House

Local: Kensington proves that Build-to-Rent (BtR) can bring good design, inclusion and serious sustainability into the same everyday place, without locking people out.

Designed by Hayball with landscape partners Openwork and Tract, Local: Kensington is part of this shift. Six buildings form a connected campus around a landscaped courtyard that works like a neighbourhood square, with co-working, creative studios, lounges, bookable kitchens and dining, a 24/7 gym and Pilates studio, green space and a 'Bark Park' that residents actually use.

Guided walks explore how Kensington is changing and how Local: Kensington responds through design and operation. Tours move through the courtyard 'neighbourhood square' and key shared spaces. Discussions will look at how the building works day-to-day, covering onsite management, shared space use, and integrated Impact Housing with Women’s Property Initiative.

Tour group capacity is limited to 20, and operates on a first-come, first-served basis.
