Idmiston Road

This scheme was paired with the redevelopment of Bramall Close, another infill site to the north end of a pedestrian route through the site. Both schemes are part of Newham council’s Wave 1 Small Sites development programme and will provide 8 homes for affordable rent. The proposals replace 22 disused garages off Idmiston Road to the south, with eight 1 and 2-bedroom flats. 

The design proposals for the two sites are conceived as integral to one another with a strong family resemblance expressed in form and detail. The undulation of plans and facades, which reflect one another and create visual interest, also help the new buildings nestle comfortably into the context, avoiding abrupt relationships.

At the Idmiston Road site, the shape and position of the proposed 4-storey block makes sense of the disparate forms and alignments of adjacent buildings. The building is set back from the street respecting the mature trees and maintaining a wide pavement.
