Keep up to dateThe mixed-use Oak Wharf scheme will provide 75 homes and commercial units as well as secondary school
Architect BPTW has just won planning permission for this mixed-use scheme in Hackney, east London.
The development, called Oak Wharf, will provide 75 mixed tenure homes, a new secondary school and commercial space on a previously derelict site.
BPTW is working with housing associations Family Mosaic and Agudas Israel on the scheme.
These three developments have been commended by design watchdog CABE as examples of designing to minimise the impact of the car.
This coveted award, sponsored by Reynaers, celebrates the imaginative flair and entrepreneurial success of the industry's designers. And who better to take it home than a Stirling Prize-nominated practice?
