On the 7th December Níall wil be giving a talk at Jonathan Tuckey Design as part of their Building on the Built series.
Building on the Built is a programme of talks and other events, hosted by Jonathan Tuckey Design, which aims to promote the topic of architectural work connected with existing structures and, more specifically, to look at work that might challenge the way in which work on existing structures is approached today.
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.
