Exciting news - 115-119 Wallis Road in Hackney Wick received planning approval from the LLDC last week!
The 337-unit co-living scheme in collaboration with Morris+Company comprises two eight-storey buildings adorned with quality streetscape, courtyards, and amenity terraces inspired by the Hackney Wick Character. This exciting co-living project is the vision of Halcyon Development Partners, who has successfully delivered similar projects such as Sunday Mills and Florence Dock in London.
The Site is located on a key circulation node, connecting Stratford and Olympic Park to the Hackney Wick neighbourhood centre. Over 1,760m² of high-quality, publicly accessible open space is proposed, including a central courtyard, canal frontage dwell space, pedestrian-friendly streets, and a Boathouse Yard.
Spot the mint colour palette - The Site was once home to the Clarnico Works Confectionery Factory which produced Mint Creams. Hints of current and past history are weaved through the landscape details.
The public realm brings forward the long-term vision outlined in The Hackney Wick Central Masterplan. Spacehub's approach aims to re-establish and enhance the connection to the Lee Navigation while capturing the distinctive urban character of Hackney Wick.
Building upon our extensive work in the area, including the award-winning Queens Yard scheme (New London Awards 2020 Unbuilt Mixing Prize Winner), the co-living project anticipates contributing to the ongoing development of this dynamic neighbourhood. Spacehub is thrilled about the future transformation and sustainable growth of this area.
