Scheme description
The site is close to the well known Columbia Road flower market in Bethnal Green and within walking distance of Hackney Road and Bethnal Green Road.
The site, currently occupied by single storey sheds offers a great opportunity for the regeneration of this area. The open spaces of the neighbouring Haggerston Park as well as the good transport links justify the development of a high density scheme which both respects the neighbouring Conservation Area and significantly enhances the quality of the built environment.
Our proposal comprises three distinct blocks, each corresponding to its immediate context in terms of massing and character: the tower reflects the height of the neighbouring Yates House, the central block matches the height of the adjacent 5 storey building and the proposed three townhouses relate to the character of the Jesus Green Estate. The elevational design as well as the choice of materials unifies the three elements into a coherent whole.
