The Library Street housing development in South East London was designed to provide high specification living and outdoor space, but as affordable housing.
The build, which was constrained by the budget requirements regulating affordable housing, set out “to remove the visual and design differentiation between public and private housing, and to use the process to start to evolve a new generation of residential architecture for North Southwark, an architecture that expresses itself in terms of an urban form which is contemporary, light, flexible, mixed tenure and contained within a mixed use environment.”
