Almshouses, E5

Conversion & Refurbishment | Back to Project Listing

This project involved the restoration and reconfiguration of five almshouses for our client who wanted to fully utilise the potential of the site as well as secure the long-term future of a Listed Building on the Heritage at Risk Register.

The guiding philosophy for the scheme was to celebrate the special character of the site and make as little change to the historic fabric of the buildings as possible.  The result is a development of five bright, modern homes, arranged in their original setting around a newly landscaped communal courtyard.

This project won the the 'Heritage & Restoration' category in the Hackney Design Awards 2020.
