Hackney New Primary School & 333 Kingsland Road

Built

Located on a busy arterial road on the edge of a conservation area, Hackney New Primary School combines a community-led school with affordable homes and shops at street level.

This RIBA Neave Brown Award-winning project of 68 flats is emblematic of an ambition for affordable homes, palpably sustainable and embedded with social value. The well-planned apartments, mainly dual-aspect, have few or no corridors to make generous living spaces. Loggias exceed minimum standards and create valuable connections to the outside, heightening residents’ awareness of their environment

Shortlisted in the MIXING category
Hackney New Primary School is a mixed-use project with affordable housing within the Kingsland Road Conservation Area. The scheme fuses two building typologies – a courtyard school, accommodating 350-pupils aged four to eleven and an 11-storey residential point block, containing 68 apartments and ground floor retail accommodation. It represents an exemplary approach to hybrid architecture combining different functions without losing the strengths of either the original educational or residential building typologies.
