Greengate House, Greengate Street, Plaistow, London E13
Project information
The design and build of 64 new apartments for shared ownership at Greengate House, Greengate Street, Plaistow, East London, E13. This complex scheme includes the retention of the original façade of the former Grade II Listed YMCA building – initially constructed in 1919. In addition the former YMCA basement swimming pool will be removed to create a 36-space car park for the new residents.
The remainder of the building will be demolished and asbestos removed to make way for a new wing of accommodation within the original footprint. The large car park situated behind the former Greengate House will be utilised to construct additional affordable homes in a low-rise mews. ‘Green’ sedum-based roof technology and biomass boilers are central to the environmental and renewable energy strategy of the development. The buildings will be grouped around a private landscaped courtyard.
