Our proposal for Mid Lea is a place that embraces its unique location and becomes a catalyst for the creation of a new district in East London. With fast transport links to the city and nearby world class leisure facilities, it proposes characterful and robust new places for 2,500 new homes, over 3,000 new jobs and ongoing opportunities for the local
community.

​

Our scheme proposed a number of distinct characters and new public spaces. Mid Lea provides a formal plaza and civic space creating a focus of public life around West Ham station.  The North and South Cresent create a series of more traditional streets and courtyards blocks. Irwell Yards is characterised by an open block morphology that sets up a finer grain of routes, connections and intimate spaces, mixing workspace with residential. The Gasholder Park provides expansive greenspace along with places for events amoungst the iconic wrought-iron structures of the old gas holders.
