The corner site in Ilford Town Centre has been completely redeveloped. Forming a bookend to the existing low-level terrace, planning gain offered a four-fold increase in floor area. The design achieved a very high density development on a limited footprint.

 

Ground floor commercial with four floors of residential accommodation above, and a roof terrace with green roofs.

 

The boundary at the corner follows a stepped line, rather than the usual chamfered transition between frontages, providing a distinctive elevational treatment.

 

The High Road frontage is clad in high-quality facing materials, hierarchical disposition of the fenestration and forms the focal point facing Hainault Street.
