Oval Quarter is the regeneration of the Myatts Field Estate in Lambeth which has provided 808 new homes and refurbished 172 homes. The redevelopment also included the development of a state-of-the-art landscaped park; new streets, green spaces and allotments; refurbishment of retail units and a new community centre with sports facilities.

The masterplan focused on the public realm, at the heart of which was the new central park and community centre. A new hierarchy of streets were created to add character to the surrounding urban form, providing a variety of identities for the different parts of the estate. The masterplan incorporated new technologies for heat and power, a strategy to develop and enhance the ecology of the area and the placement of art. The masterplan was developed in consultation with stakeholders and the local community.
