Niall will give a talk to the Architectural Association of Ireland in Dublin. The lecture will look at all new projects including the Peabody Housing at Whitechapel, The Theatre at Worcester College in Oxford and the Tapestry Building at King’s Cross in London.
We have completed our housing project for the Peabody Trust in John Fisher Street in Whitechapel, London. 13 families now occupy the building. It was built on an empty site in Henry Derbyshire’s Peabody Estate from 1870. The building is made from brick with deep precast concrete reveals, framing large windows and balconies. It is a real pleasure to see the balconies occupied by plants, bikes and carpets; people hanging out the windows watching their children playing in the courtyard below.
