An award-winning Hackney landmark joins our portfolio

We've been appointed to manage 333 Kingsland Road, a Stirling Prize-shortlisted development that exemplifies innovative urban design and community-focused architecture in the heart of Hackney. 

This modern scheme combines an 11-storey residential tower providing 68 affordable homes with a 350-pupil primary school and shops at street level. The development's thoughtful design protects Hackney New Primary School from the noise and fumes of one of London's busiest roads whilst creating a striking architectural landmark on the edge of a conservation area.  

The residential tower reads as both a landmark and a central European-style apartment block, with its covered loggia at street level creating generous pavements and shelter from the elements. At street level, residents can sit on south-facing benches or walk beneath the arcade below the apartment block, whilst a specially designed gate created in collaboration with artist Paul Morrison celebrates the interplay between architecture and context, adding both day-to-day delight and a sense of wellbeing to the neighbourhood. 

The residential tower includes 34 one-bedroom flats, 31 two-bedroom flats, and three three-bedroom flats, with 10% wheelchair accessible. The tower's orientation ensures each home has extended views over the city without overlooking the school courtyard below. The residential component is owned and managed by Dolphin Living, a not-for-profit housing association that specialises in providing affordable homes near good transport links to Londoners on modest incomes. The school's courtyard and main hall are designed to facilitate out-of-hours community use and are easily accessible from the street, reinforcing the development's role as genuine social infrastructure. 

Senior Business Development Manager James Neale says “We’re delighted to add this unique scheme to our portfolio, demonstrating our capability to manage award-winning, mixed-use developments which blend architectural quality and community living.”
