Darbishire Place, our housing project in Whitechapel for the Peabody Trust, will be open to the public on the 17th September as part of Open House London 2016. Niall McLaughlin Architects will be provide guided tours of the building, which was shortlisted for the 2015 Stirling Prize.
Looking south from the roof garden, the view is framed by the ‘beak’ of the building looking south over Regents Canal and out towards the BT tower.
The concrete frame of the Tapestry (T1) building is approaching completion, with just two more floors to be constructed. This space on the 8th floor will become an outdoor roof garden enclosed either side by two level ‘townhouses’ and a tower to the north. The area will be open to residents and landscaped with trees and gardens.
