Peabody Housing
Competition
In November 2013 Dreamstudio in Partnership with Archadia Chartered Architects entered the Peabody Gap Sites Design Competition,choosing the site, Morpeth Rd Garages, near Victoria Park in East London, to work up a scheme for.
Working with the Shallow sites inherited by the demolition of the existing garages, Dreamstudio developed a scheme of socially and environmentally sustainable courtyard house couples.
The houses would have shared entrances, courtyard spaces, and community allotments providing increased opportunities for social interaction without sacrificing privacy.
Dreamstudio also wished to develop housing with high sustainable credentials, using timber frames, with brick cladding, photovoltaic roof mounted panels, cyclestorage and shared allotment spaces.
