New windows have been cut into the existing masonry walls of the Outpatient’s Building. These windows create a visual connection between the east and west wing rooms, across a double height space of pre-cast columns and beams.
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.
