PEABODY HOUSING STARTS ON SITE

OCTOBER 2012

Peabody Housing Starts on Site

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.
