Mixed use scheme on prominent site immediately to the south of London Fields developed with Notting Hill Housing Trust and comprising flats above commercial facing onto Westgate Street and Sheep Lane, and ‘houses’ above flexible workspace on Bocking Street.

The flats are approached through an open south facing courtyard off Bocking Street. The L-shape form of the houses above ‘shop’ allows for first floor south facing terraces.

The elevational composition is enlivened by a ‘feathered’ motif to the side of openings that draws the eye towards the 2 urban corners of the site with Sheep Lane.
