Niall delivered the Giles Worsley Memorial Lecture at the British Academy, at Carlton House Terrace on the 11th of February. The lecture focussed on three projects, a country house in Hampshire, a chapel and the extension and restoration of Auckland Castle.
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.
