“While the design of the housing is ingenious and generous, the most impressive thing about this plan is the use of landscape and facilities to create a coherent place that can truly be called civic.”

This is an ambitious design for a dense urban quarter in South Hackney configured around a tight network of streets which are designed to weave together adjacent neighbourhood and to promote a vibrant buzzy thriving street life. The buildings contain 600 dwellings, live/work spaces, shops and community facilities. At the heart of the scheme is a linear park running from Hackney Road in the South of the Borough to Stonebridge Common to the north.
