Roman Road rooftop extension secures planning approval

April 28, 2021

Our zinc clad design for seven new homes over the Abbotts showroom in Roman Road has secured planning approval from Tower Hamlets.

The scheme is grounded in the local conservation area and responds to the materials, scale and form of surrounding buildings. Alongside a new artwork, our design adds interest and life to the existing dull utilitarian building and activates dead secondary frontages with new windows and terraces. These provide natural surveillance and reinforces residential use to the side and rear of the site.

The new homes will benefit from characterful generous living spaces with varied views and access to generous sunlit outdoor spaces.
