The Athletes’ Housing for Olympic is among one of the projects shortlisted for a New London Architecture Award. The scheme was nominated in the Masterplanning Category, as part of a group submission for the Olympic Village development for the London 2012 Games.
Niall McLaughlin Architects’ housing project in Whitechapel for the Peabody Trust will start on site at the end of the month. The project makes use of an infill site on the existing Victorian Peabody Trust estate. The scheme completes the courtyard enclosure formed by the existing blocks whilst retaining ‘open corners’. This strategy prompts easy pedestrian access and views between the courtyard and surrounding streets.
