The Project 

The first neighbourhood centre in a new community, which is being developed alongside the Thames in Barking and Dagenham

Our Role

Full service public realm and landscape design to 70 flats, a primary school and community facilities centred upon a new town square.  The principle of one community, one square and 5 landscapes have directed the masterplan approach.  Abstracted estuary forms create a distinctive signature, in the public realm.
