The design team behind one of London mayor Ken Livingstone鈥檚 favourite green schemes will reunite to bid for the capital鈥檚 first big zero-carbon project.

Bill Dunster and PRP Architects are to reunite to bid for a 200-home project in the Albert Docks in east London. The two formerly worked together on the St Matthew鈥檚 Estate energy-efficient housing scheme in Brixton, south London. They are in talks with a developer to take the scheme forward.

The team is likely to go head to head with Bioregional Development Group, which was Dunster鈥檚 partner on the BedZed zero-carbon housing scheme in Sutton, south London. Dunster and Bioregional鈥檚 work on BedZed was much lauded but the two have since fallen out.

Pooran Desai, co-founder of Bioregional, said it had not yet found an architect with which to work. He said: 鈥淲e are going through the process of looking at the scheme. We are interested but we have not yet approached any architects about it.鈥� Designers understood to be throwing their hat into the ring include Broadway Malyan, Jestico + Whiles and Edward Cullinan Architects.

However, many architects claim that clients have been reluctant to take on the project, which will be developer-led. A source from a leading architect said offers had been scarce.

The source said: 鈥淚 think clients are still weighing up whether it is a good deal or not.鈥�

Three housebuilders are thought to be considering taking the project on, but have so far been reluctant to commit to it.

However, a spokesperson from the Greater London Authority said there had been a high level of interest. She said: 鈥淲e have had about 900 requests for documents so far.鈥�
