The former building at 312 Hackney Road was a war-damaged end of terrace, externally braced and internally propped for years to prevent collapse following World War II bomb damage.

We were commissioned Post-Planning to carry out the detailed design and delivery for a replacement building on the site. Whilst developing the detailed design we took the opportunity to reappraise the project; by reviewing potential improvements in layout, design, material choice and alterations to the fabric in order to ameliorate the appearance of the building and better integrate 312HR within its’ context.
