Affordable family housing is at the heart of the scheme. It provides several properties for larger families and also new homes for residents over the age of 60 moving from larger council homes.

The resulting scheme has the same level of accommodation as the former building on the site but delivers a very different neighbourhood in terms of tenure mix, housing type and increased and improved public and private realm. It also has more green space and spaces for courtyards and gardens.

DARBISHIRE PLACEThis development at Peabody’s Whitechapel Estate in East London is part of a site of six housing blocks surrounding an internal courtyard. This design by Níall McLaughlin Architects aims to respect the massing (size, scale and height) and characteristics of the existing Victorian buildings on one of the oldest Peabody estates. It continues the idea of ‘open corners’, promoting easy pedestrian access and views between the courtyard and the surrounding streets.

The balconies on the building have openings on two sides to allow a maximum amount of daylight into the living rooms.
