Denizen Works were short-listed from 70 entries to develop designs for 17 new homes on Pedro Street in Clapton as part of the London Borough of Hackney's new housing programme.
敷地には現在、周辺コミュニティの地域拠点である Gilpin Square の東端に位置する、使われなくなったコンクリート造の地域熱供給施設が建っています。既存の煙突はランドマークとなっているため、私たちが計画する新しい住宅もこの街のシンボル性を残しつつ、現在は無表情な広場側の立面に賑わいを与えることを目指しています。
Our proposals focused on giving a flexible layout to the housing creating an easy mix of tenures and housing types. On the ground floor we proposed a commercial uses that would help bolster the local economy and provide activity to the eastern edge of the square which is extended to meet the base of our building.
The housing is shown as a mix of green glazed tiles and concrete frame construction with infill brick panels. These materials were chosen to reflect the industrial history of the site with the tiles used to delineate the public areas of the complex.
