Parts of East London appear more like a game of monopoly than a community to live in. What if new developments honored and welcomed those within the existing community, as well as those new to it while providing a quality living environment for everyone? Wickside Frames is a proposed design for part of a new mixed-use development in Hackney Wick, near Queen Elizabeth Olympic and Victoria Parks and south of the Hertford Union Canal. The site has an industrial heritage and a lively existing artistic community, with more than 600 artist studios in the area. Our design creates a new live-work environment to meet the growth needs of the area, while creating new connected public spaces and fostering community engagement. Housing is located to the north of the site to allow for a sunny public courtyard, semi-public community spaces and private terraces. Art galleries and event space are to the south by the canal. Housing is made up of 6-unit typologies to fit the needs of the young, diverse and growing population in Tower Hamlets.
