Good to see our Bow Goods Yard project receiving the recognition it deserves. A significant part of London's regeneration efforts, transforming an old underused industrial site into a mixed-use area that blends residential, commercial, and community spaces.  Tom Lowe Building Magazine "It was in May last year that the first signs emerged of what could be one of this decade’s biggest housing stories. A planning application was submitted for the Bow Goods Yard scheme in Stratford, north-east London. It went largely unnoticed by the housing sector because the scheme, a huge freight logistics hub, contained no housing. Approved last October, it is set to see up to three million square feet of industrial and leisure space built on the last plot of land to be released as part of the 2012 Olympics legacy, all of which is interesting enough in its own right. But it was a little noticed detail in the application that could prove to be the most significant for the housing sector in the years ahead." https://lnkd.in/d_bPHatP #urbanists #anglodutch

ML Urbanist Blazej Czuba joins the NLA expert panel 2025 for Industrial & Logistics. Blazej has been leading on the Bow Goods Yard masterplan, the missing piece of the Olympic Legacy and one of the few strategic railheads in London. The NLA panel will look at supporting the urban logistics that keep the capital functioning, and examine the evolution of London’s industrial and logistics sectors which support London as a world-leading centre. #urbanists #architects #anglodutch

Here's the team at the inaugural 'topping out' ceremony at York Way Estate in the London Borough of Islington. York Way is about creating new homes within the York Way estate with sensitive new additional blocks knitted into the existing housing estate built in 1969. These four new blocks provide a rigorous order and articulated brick façades provide a high quality and durable architecture with simple, crisp detailing ensuring the buildings will mature gracefully, become richer and look better with time.

The team stepped out for a peek at the recently completed MacFarlane Place, part of the wider Television Centre masterplan, delivered by Stanhope PLC as developer on behalf of Peabody. Doing their bit for climate resilience our two affordable and distinct housing blocks explore ways to accommodate the UK’s evolving climate through the integration of external shutters. A key feature being the buildings’ longevity and adaptability under future conditions. The low-maintenance, robust external shutters help residents control solar gain during peak periods, and allow their homes to be cooled by a combination of natural and mechanical ventilation during evening hours. The project provides much-need affordable-tenure homes for the local area, and allows a wide section of the community to benefit from the wider regeneration of White City. Gillespies Kier Group Arup Prisca Thielmann Owen Jowett Steve Perkins Ruaridh Inverarity Frederick Fasola Danyal Ali #climateresilience #planet #architects https://lnkd.in/eNnivsGq

Southwark Council has given the go ahead for the redevelopment of a former gasworks site on Salter Road, Rotherhithe. We have designed 151 new homes which includes a significant amount of public realm including a new central garden and play area designed by HTA Design LLP. The scheme provides a mix of terraced houses and robust apartment blocks, that respond to the low-rise suburban character of the area while delivering much needed new homes for Southwark. "The buildings and the public spaces work together to form a coherent new neighbourhood with a strong sense of identity. The architecture of both the townhouses and the apartment blocks take their cues from the former terraces of dock worker’s cottages and larger Victorian warehouses that used to populate the area, while remaining true to the time in which they are being built.'"

Along with Landscape Architects Erect Architecture we have been chosen by Populo Living to develop designs for a new fully inclusive flagship primary school and adjacent residential building, with over 100 new flats in Newham. The practices will work closely both with Populo and Carpenters Primary School on the plans, in line with Newham’s ambition to improve the site, which sits adjacent to the wider Carpenters Estate. As Newham’s wholly owned development company, Populo Living will oversee the delivery of the school and new apartments.  The designs will enable the existing school to grow easily over time from two forms of entry to three, whilst still maintaining a friendly small-school feel. Communal spaces within the school will be located to provide a strong civic presence and complement the adjacent planned community centre at James Riley Point as part of Newham’s commitment to embed high quality social infrastructure at the heart of the Carpenters Estate. Congratulations to the team. #education #architects #anglodutch
