Projects
The Old Post Office, Stoke Newington
Conversion and extension of additional floors on Old Post Office, Stoke Newington, Hackney.
We worked with Paperhouse Architects to design a scheme which would provide new flats in a landmark scheme in the London Borough of Hackney.
The key challenges on this project were justifying the loss of the shop and demonstrating the viability case for the scheme. The site is also located in a Conservation Area and whilst not Listed, it is recognised as a non-designated heritage asset. Therefore, this presented challenges relating to design which were discussed together with the impact of the loss of a shop through two pre-applications and meetings with the Council.
Following the pre-application discussions, a final scheme was submitted in a planning application and subsequently approved by the Council. The CGI’s below, kindly provided by Paperhouse, detail the scheme.
