Waterside Park
View all projectsThis residential mixed-use project reimagines 4.6 hectares of disused land to the north of the Thames Barrier in a changing part of east London. A masterplan defines a series of seven urban blocks, five of which we then designed, providing 777 new homes of mixed tenure, of which a third is affordable. Together with retail, community and leisure uses, the new homes are set around a new urban park. The position of the buildings engages with its riverside setting, creating connections between private courtyards, public realm, park and river.
