Albert Jacob House
Featured
Albert Jacob House is a new build social housing scheme for the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
The scheme creates 53 social rented homes on the site of a former council office building. In addition to the homes, new retail spaces provide active frontage along the street.
The project has been a real collaborative success, with both the client and project team all striving to deliver essential affordable, sustainable, and joyful homes. The proposed building and its landscaping successfully weave themselves into the existing urban grain, really transforming the quality of the public realm experienced at street level for the benefit of new and existing neighbouring residents.
We are particularly excited by what feels to be the jewel in the scheme, the combined landscaping, play and amenity between Albert Jacob House and Godley VC House, which creates a public space that is tranquil, safe, and welcoming for all.
Plans were approved by the Development Committee at a meeting on Thursday 26 June.
