Budoch Court is a London Borough of Redbridge-owned housing estate, located close to Goodmayes Station. It was identified for new development as part of the Council’s 2020 affordable homes programme, addressing urgent local need with new Council-funded homes.
As the first phase of a wider proposal for the estate, this mansion block provides eight new homes for social rent arranged over four floors. Five of these are family homes and three are also wheelchair-accessible. The new building is designed to be sympathetic in scale, material and detail to the existing 1952 estate. Projecting bays, recessed string lines and quoins articulate the street facing elevation, with generous balconies and large openings at the rear.
The next phase of development will comprehensively remodel the estate’s open spaces to reduce car-dominance and provide a more pedestrian-friendly environment. Existing mature trees are augmented with new trees and landscaping, children’s play facilities and allotments. With a stronger central shared access, the future estate will offer new opportunity for recreation and interaction for all existing and new residents.
