The practice’s most recent housing scheme for the Peabody Trust has received planning permission from the London Borough of Waltham Forrest. The scheme comprises of seventeen new homes for the social rented sector at a central location in Leytonstone. The project is due for completion in March 2015.
The practice has been awarded the BPCF 2012 Creativity in Concrete Award for their treatment of the facade for the Athletes’ Housing Block N15 within the Olympic Village. The precast cladding panels sample fragments of the Elgin Marbles, which were scanned digitally from the British Museum in London. The scans were used to make fibreboard positives using a 5-axis router, which then became the formwork for the latex moulds from which the panels were cast.
