Scheme to be third phase of wider 2,200-home redevelopment of 1960s Carpenters Estate
Metropolitan Workshop has been picked to design three towers as part of the third phase of the regeneration of the Carpenters Estate in east London.
The 500-home scheme for developer Populo Living, Newham council’s wholly owned housing company, will span a trio of buildings ranging from 15 to 30 storeys in height next to Stratford Station.
The plans also include new commercial space and a community pub, with a planning application set to be submitted in autumn this year.
Metropolitan Workshop and Proctor & Matthews have masterplanned the wider 2,152-home redevelopment of the estate, which was approved by the London Legacy Development Corporation in February last year.
The scheme’s first phase, Proctor & Matthews and ECD Architects’ refurbishment of the 1960s James RIley Point tower, started on site last year with the 23-storey tower set to deliver 136 social rent homes.
The second phase, a 500-home redevelopment of part of the estate known as the Lund Quarter, is being designed by Hawkins Brown, Bell Phillips, Fisher Cheng and landscape architect Grant Associates, with planning to be submitted this year.
For the third phase, Metropolitan Workshop is working alongside project manager Buro Four, landscape architect LDA Design, engineer Pell Frischmann, planning consultant Turley and cost consultant Cumming Group.
