The Arbour is a development of 10 two-storey homes on a former backland industrial site in Walthamstow Village that pushes the boundaries of sustainable urban design.
It is brimming with credentials: carbon-negative, zero-waste, energy self-sufficient, and deconstructible. Even the construction phase and hard landscaping embodied the ethos. There were no skips: materials from the original site were salvaged and have been seamlessly recycled into the design. The two short terraces of soft blue-grey clad houses have a soaring, angular roofline that generates cathedral-like internal volumes. Working together closely, the architects and client have successfully demonstrated that beautiful homes can be made from 鈥榳aste鈥� and bio-based materials.
