Peabody Housing Association

Social housing on a site in Morpeth Road in Hackney.

Our design, for 12 new homes, utilises the existing garden wall of the site and stitches the new development into the surrounding community. The distinctive angular shaped roofs create identifiable homes with open plan spaces that have step-free access into private courtyards.

We gained planning permission from the planning committee, unanimously first time for 12 houses.

The houses were built by our client Peabody.

The houses are occupied by NHS and keyworkers.
