Development by Amin Taha Architects signals new growth in Hackney

Development of 10 new flats for private rent, which is designed by Amin Taha Architects, has transformed a site in London Fields, rented. Part of the site has long been pubs that have fallen into disrepair, and the area behind the derelict land, with the dump burned-out car.



Original road plans have been disrupted by the site housing development in the 1960s, Richard Cheeseman director explains that as "all cul-de-sacs, where the houses do not have the front and back." Amin Taha back the original layout of the scheme without constraining the access roads to the homes there.



The main building construction is straight-forward load-bearing blockwork with the hardcore pre-cast slabs for floors and roofs. Finished with insulated render systems, as select the architect cost-effective way to create a, homogeneous appearance. Center slot, contains the main external staircase is painted bright lime green, to provide some interest and make buildings more vibrant. Access to the flat is extended through the balcony deck, the same thick green finish.



All 10 units, one to 3 bedrooms, will be rented at 70% of the local market rent, as affordable housing by the private pension fund investors. In accordance with the conditions of planning, the scheme also includes eight off-street parking spaces.



Cheeseman said, "I think people generally feel pleased that the run-down pub has been replaced by a contemporary residential buildings, and people who live behind the development now feel more secure."
