Birdport House

Overview

Winner of 2012 Mayor’s Housing Design Guide Award for Community Consultation, Bridport House was the initial phase of the Council's Colville Estate master plan

The massing and feasibility for the scheme was worked up in conjunction with the regeneration and property teams. KCA architects were then appointed through a tender process to deliver the proposed LB Hackney scheme for the site.

The build was one of the first in the country of this scale to use cross-laminated timber construction. The scheme was granted planning permission in March 2010, completed in 2011 and built with HCA funding sourced by the Council and provided 41 new social homes. The first development Hackney Council had built in over 45 years.
