Search the Public Notice PortalA cleverly designed canalside block of flats that is part of the Olympic legacy has reached a key point in its construction.
The 40-apartment mixed-use block, named Bridge House, was designed by architecture studio Studioshaw and is located in Hackney Wick.
The project, which is part of the London Legacy Development Corporation's 2012 Olympic Games legacy, has now "topped out", meaning it has reached its full height.
The building is part of the wider Wickside masterplan, designed by Ash Sakula and BUJ Architects for O'Shea Group and Galliard Homes.
All 40 flats are dual aspect, with large balconies overlooking the canal and a new square.
Residents will also have access to a shared rooftop garden.
The ground and lower ground floors are designed to accommodate flexible commercial units, suitable for workshops, galleries, and café/restaurant facilities, opening onto the canal frontage.
The building is surrounded by a new public realm, designed in collaboration with Adams & Sutherland Architects.
A covered colonnade faces the canal towpath on the south elevation and a new public square on the west elevation.
The facade is made from fair-faced in-situ concrete elements, setting it apart from the brick buildings which surround it.
William Haldane, senior development manager at Place Group, said: "Bridge House marks a major milestone in our Wickside development – the first component of the masterplan to come to fruition.
"At its core, this project has always been about collaboration: a shared commitment to nurturing fresh ideas, revitalising Hackney Wick, and raising the bar for design in the area.
"From the outset, Studioshaw have been ideal partners – their energy and creativity have aligned seamlessly with our vision for Bridge House."
Mark Shaw, founding director at Studioshaw, said: "From the beginning, we set out a series of clear design principles that shaped everything we did.
"They weren’t abstract concepts — just common-sense ideas we believed would improve the everyday lives of future residents.
"These principles created a shared language with both the client and local authority, and they’ve remained central to the project’s success."
