In December 2009 work began on the former site of Brownswood Library in Hackney, East London.  The 100% affordable scheme will deliver 17 homes to the London Borough and is due for completion in March 2011.  The scheme has been designed by bptw Partnership and is being constructed by Allenbuild SE for Genesis Housing Group.

 

There will be a mix of unit sizes, from 1 bedroom flats for couples to 4 bedroom family homes and two wheelchair accessible units, all of which are desperately needed in the area.  Located close to Finsbury Park and Arsenal Football Club the scheme will offer all units for General Needs Rent tenants.  With the Piccadilly & Victoria Lines, plus national rail services all within half a mile these homes are well connected to the rest of London and further afield while still retaining the local community feel.

An integrated approach ...that's Logic
