Commercial
Cameron Bosque Brookes were appointed at the pre-planning stage to develop a scheme for this sustainable, car-free development of 30 luxury apartments in Northeast London.
It features the use of solar panels, green walls and roofs, and an eco-friendly internal courtyard complete with a garden, cultivated to attract a mix of wildlife.
Heritage
This East London project involved the conversion of a derelict listed mews house into an amazing three-storey property.
The works required construction of a new second floor, new windows and doors, extensive façade works, new chimneys and a full renovation throughout.
The biggest issue with 2d plans and 3d images is that our clients struggle to understand the designs concept and when you are paying thousands of pounds on a building project this is not good enough. We use virtual reality as part of the design process to show you options and allow you to walk around the proposals as if you would in real life. You get a sense of how the completed building will feel and the sense of space.
Paradise Row: A terrace of elegant, Grade II-listed Georgian houses from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, set behind a wedge of open land that was once part of the original green. Museum of the Home (formerly Geffrye Museum): Originally 18th-century almshouses, these Grade I-listed buildings were completed in 1714 and are an excellent example of early Georgian design. Columbia Road Flower Market: The famous market street retains many of its Victorian shopfronts. Former Bethnal Green Town Hall: Completed in 1910, this grand building now serves as a hotel.
Modernist and post-war housing examples include Keeling House: Designed by acclaimed modernist architect Denys Lasdun in the 1950s, this Grade II*-listed brutalist residential block is known for its “cluster” design. Ashington House: A lesser-known brutalist masterpiece featuring hexagonal units, designed by Noel Moffett. It stands out with concrete “flying buttresses” and staggered staircases. Cranbrook Estate: Designed by Berthold Lubetkin and his firm in the 1950s and 60s, this estate is considered a benchmark of post-war social housing. It features distinctive towers arranged at different angles to catch the sun. Sivill House: Part of the Cranbrook Estate, this modernist residential block was also a product of Lubetkin’s vision.
Galvanise (469 Bethnal Green Road): An award-winning project by Carmody Groarke that saw a derelict 1970s textile workshop transformed into a sustainable, modern workspace. Modern conversions: Many properties, including Victorian terraces, have been fitted with contemporary, architect-designed extensions and internal refurbishments. Bethnal Green studio house: This modern, award-winning house was constructed on a narrow, challenging site and was designed to evoke both a home and a simple industrial shed. Ecclesiastical and public buildings St John on Bethnal Green: This church was built between 1826 and 1828 and designed by Sir John Soane. V&A Museum of Childhood: Housed in a prefabricated iron structure, originally known as the “Brompton Boilers,” that was relocated to Bethnal Green in 1872.
The architecture in Bethnal Green showcases a mix of styles, from the elegant Victorian terraces and almshouses to influential modernist and brutalist social housing estates, reflecting the area’s rich history and regeneration. Victorian and Georgian heritage as seen on Jesus Hospital Estate which is a picturesque enclave of Victorian terraced houses was built in the 1860s as social housing and maintains a unique, village-like character today.
