NEW LONDON AWARDS 2022

Shortlisted in the HOUSING category

Unity Place provides 235 social rented homes, a community hub, landscape amenity, publicly accessible playspace, carparking and an energy centre serving the wider estate.

The 100% affordable development is organised around the reinstatement of historic street patterns and a desire to create high-density housing in low-medium rise buildings that positively engage with their environment.

FCBStudios, Alison Brooks Architects and Gort Scott used a unified approach to deliver individual buildings, including the use of the same brick, which nestles the scheme harmoniously into its surroundings. A range of biodiverse planting within private courtyards, public gardens and lining the public play space provide a rich variety of habitats that are designed to provide amenity throughout the year.

The project was delivered by Telford Homes and RM_A Architects.

Vote for this project in the ‘People’s Choice Award’. The voting deadline is 1 November 2022.
