Abstract Bruce Stewart describes how a patient and ever‐persistent approach to planning have paid off for Archer Architects, the designers of a mixed‐use housing scheme in the centre of London's Soho. The designers/ considered response to ‘community benefit’ and the existing urban fabric have enabled them to overcome the stalemate on a site that has suffered from ‘planners' blight’ since the 1970s.
