Description:Nile Street is an innovative high density development designed by architects Munkenbeck and Marshall for the Peabody Trust. It is a showcase for social housing in inner-city London, providing 175 homes, a communal courtyard and roof gardens and a youth centre. The building is clad in green copper at the Nile Street and Provost Street elevations and light timber panels in the courtyard and on other elevations. The projecting balconies - rectangular on one side of the building and triangular on another - provide an outdoor space for most of the flats as well as having a visually attractive effect on the exterior. The development is centred around a courtyard with silver birch trees and a water feature that is illuminated at night. In contrast, some of the flat roofs are designed as formal terraces which will benefit from the sun at all times of day. The roof gardens have been furnished with timber benches and planters.
Jurisdictions::Hackney, Peabody
