Scheme description
This interesting corner site is currently a disused industrial building close to our own offices in the London Borough of Hackney. Our scheme retains the amount of commercial use at ground floor while providing an additional 71 no. private apartments above. The affordable element of the scheme is provided on a nearby site as part of the same application. The developer is London Newcastle who have established a reputation for high quality urban housing in Central London.
The rear of the site backs on to Wenlock Basin, an inlet off the Grand Union Canal. Many of the apartments therefore enjoy views of the canal which will be landscaped as private amenity space. The design echoes the strong industrial architecture of the warehouses in the area using an engineering brick and large scale openings.
