Penoyre & Prasad design for east London family homes gets planning permission

Penoyre & Prasad鈥檚 design for a new six-storey residential building in east London has just received planning permission with construction due to start in January 2011.

The architectural practice run by former RIBA president Sunand Prasad won a competition for its design of the 拢11m Hammond House redevelopment on the Isle of Dogs in Tower Hamlets.

The thinking behind the Hammond House redevelopment for East Thames Group is to create family homes, a total of 56 in this instance, in an urban environment. These homes will be a mixture of maisonettes and flats from one to five bedrooms.

All of the units will have garden space 鈥� roof gardens for the top floor maisonettes and terraces or balconies for the mid-level units.

Construction is due to complete in 2012.
