HotHob is a case study that examines the viability of using leftover space over railways as a way to address London’s chronic housing crisis. The study proposes the utilisation of existing rail infrastructure to create pockets of developable land for housing. The aim of the study is to see how new homes can be created with minimal impact to infrastructure, yet yield the maximum benefit; such as proximity to Central London and buildability. Through the use of DfMA (i.e offsite homes) the study indicates the potential yield of 7,500 homes over a portion of the 14 over-ground rail lines.
