Location

In the London Borough of Hackney.

Scheme

H2O gained a planning consent for 23 flats, 8 of which were affordable, and a nursery to the ground floor.

The site sits in an area of mixed architectural styles, with many materials being used.  The scheme was therefore designed to a very modern palette of materials, creating a contemporary building.

Waterway Wins

• Removal of a  post-war, derelict industrial building.
• The quality of architecture will add to the canal and street scene.
• The ground floor commercial use allows day time activity at canal level.

Scheme Status

Planning consent for this scheme was granted in March 2009.  The site was sold in April 2010.
