Practice looks to add new low-rise blocks around 18-storey 1960s tower

Lynch Architects has submitted plans for an infill scheme that will deliver 73 new homes on the Fairbank Estate at Hoxton in east London.

The proposals, created as part of Hackney council’s housing supply programme, will deliver the homes in three new eight-storey blocks at the base of 18-storey Thaxted Court, on the corner of Murray Grove. The site is currently occupied by a two-storey car park.

Practice founder Patrick Lynch said the problem of integrating 1960s towers into a hospitable streetscape was a recurring theme in the practice’s work.
