DARBISHIRE PLACE, WHITECHAPEL PEABODY HOUSING

JANUARY 2015

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.

SOMERVILLE COLLEGE WINS BRICK AWARDS

Niall McLaughlin Architects was confirmed as the winner of the Brick Awards 2012.  The Somerville College student accommodation for Oxford University was given the award under the category of Best Housing Development of 26 Units or more.

The judges considered the project to be ‘impressive’ and of a ‘high quality’ and paid tribute to the ‘neat and sharp’ details throughout and the careful consideration of the existing surrounding brickwork.
