Urban Design Manual
OEV's Urban Design Manual was created in partnership with the City's urban design planners, outlining guidelines for façade restoration and development. Ongoing revitalization relies on quality renovations to create a streetscape unlike anywhere else in London. The OEV Design Manual motivates property owners to align with or complement the area's heritage.
