Along the trail you can see  The Wing at Capel Le Ferne (2015), the Samphire Hoe Education shelter(2014) and on the Dover Esplanade, Tonkin Liu’s Three Waves (2009), the Dover Sea Sports centre (2010) and Alma Tischler Wood’s North Downs Way START/FINISH line (2010); the National Trust Visitor Centre (1999), the Pines Calyx (2006) at St Margaret’s Bay and our Deal Pier Café.

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.
