A design team, led by Haworth Tompkins has been chosen by Hackney Council to develop proposals for 7 infill housing projects across the borough expected to deliver 240 new homes providing much needed new council housing as well as high-quality public realm and resident amenity spaces. Proposals for a further 7 sites will be developed by design teams led by Al-Jawad Pike and Apparata, Sergison Bates, Archio and Citizens Design Bureau.
Haworth Tompkins has assembled a collaborative, multi-disciplinary design team, including regular co-designers LDA Design (landscape) and HTS (structure), but also new and exciting talent Mark Lemanski, Nooma Studio and Balaam Murphy who will work closely alongside Haworth Tompkins but also be given the opportunity to lead on the design of two of the sites.
“We are thrilled to have been selected for this exciting project. Several members of the project team are Hackney residents, so for us there is a personal connection to working with the local communities to provide much needed new council housing and improvements to the surrounding estates.
Hackney Council is an ambitious client, with a vision closely aligned with our own aspirations to provide high-quality low-energy homes, predominantly for council rent. We are looking forward to working with the council on the development of these low-rise infill sites and exploring the opportunities for the creation of low-embodied carbon structures.” Chris Fellner – Director, Haworth Tompkins
