Housing Design Awards Shortlist – Bancroft Estate
March 2021
We are proud of our team at FBM Architects for their work on two schemes that have been shortlisted in the 2021 Housing Design Awards. We are one of a select number of practices with more than one project shortlisted.
Our proposals to regenerate the Bancroft Estate for the London Borough of Tower Hamlets provide 33 new affordable apartments for council tenants in two separate buildings, one which incorporates offices for the Tenant Management Organisation and a new community space.
Resident wellbeing was an important factor in developing the design proposals. New green space significantly enhances the outlook for both existing and incoming residents. The project is the first council-led scheme to incorporate Air Source Heat Pumps as part of the energy strategy, signalling a change in the provision of clean energy in the borough.
