Show more "Located within a conservation area, this sensitive redevelopment of a challenging site in Hackney provides 31 high quality new almshouses. The design maximises the capacity on this constricted site while reducing the impact on neighbouring residents by ingeniously creating a recessed upper floor and ‘hiding’ a single-storey garden development under a biodiverse green roof.The buildings are new almshouses, offering accommodation in self-contained apartments at affordable rents, without additional care provision or communal rooms. They incorporate a central shared garden, with facilities for individual residents to plant and engage in gardening activities." Show less
