We were appointed by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets to redevelop two sites on the Bancroft Estate near Bethnal Green Tube Station currently used as a Tenants’ Management
Cooperative and Women’s Integration Team (Bancroft site) and garages (Wickford Street site). Our design provides 33 new apartments in two separate buildings, one which rises to five stories in response to its direct context and acts as a ‘marker’ building, directing pedestrians towards the new neighbourhood park and the new community facilities at the end of the street. The second building adjoining the railway line, rises to six storeys and provides eighteen apartments and incorporates offices for the Tenants’ Management Cooperative and the Women’s Integration Team, as well as a community space available to local residents.
The development also offers significant improvements to the wider estate, including landscaping and lighting improvements to transform a run-down service route to the rear of the shops which face the main road. Security is improved through the design of the new buildings, which create active frontages to ensure passive surveillance of pedestrian and vehicular routes.
The material treatment, detailing and proportion of the windows have been carefully selected to offer a contemporary response to the surrounding context, with the highly articulated volumes giving a generous depth and complexity to avoid flat and monotonous facades.
