Chowdhury Walk heralds an ambitious programme of new generation council homes by Hackney Council. The design鈥檚 articulated sculptural form gives it a strong, confident presence.
It is an infill development of 11 houses that stands between two existing terraces and their gardens, on a plot previously occupied by garages and ad hoc car parking. The architects have arranged the houses in a two-storey staggered terrace, set along a newly created public thoroughfare for pedestrians and cyclists, with private patio gardens to the rear. Each home is oriented so that its frontage acknowledges the main approach road, while the staggering ensures they do not directly overlook their neighbours. With a mix of two- and three-bedroom houses and one fully accessible four-bedroom home, seven of the units are for social rent and four for private sale.
