Located within the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Chobham Manor will provide 880 dwellings in a mixed-use masterplan, a nursery, community centre and a number of commercial units

Chobham Manor is the first of five new neighbourhoods built within the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, East London. Situated between the Velodrome and the East Village, it provides 880 dwellings in a mixed-use masterplan, including a nursery, community centre and a number of commercial units.

The architectural and public realm design of the four phases of the development were designed collaboratively by an award-winning team AHMM, Haworth Tompkins, Karakusevic Carson Architects, Make, muf architecture/art, Nord and PRP for Chobham Manor LLP (Taylor Wimpey and London & Quadrant Housing Trust) and the London Legacy Development Corporation.

Five principal housing typologies enable diversity and choice across the masterplan with these comprising townhouses, mews, maisonettes, mansion blocks and multi-generational homes; which are in turn supported by three neighbourhood greens that knit the masterplan together. The three greens and the public realm are rich in planting, and a network of tree-lined streets form a hierarchy of spaces which link to the surrounding urban fabric. Three quarters of the estate is aimed at families and over one third of the total is affordable housing.

The cohesive and sustainable masterplan connects into its emerging and historic context and the wider Olympic legacy area to support the social, economic and environmental regeneration of the Stratford area. The project was awarded the coveted NLA Mayor’s Prize in 2019.
