Best City Development 2008

Telford Homes, Kira

On a very narrow, difficult site in bow,
Telford Homes, in partnership with
eastend Homes, have succeeded in
pulling off a development that is both
stylish and integral to the social and
economic regeneration of a relatively
deprived neighbourhood. The northern
facade against the busy bow road has
a strikingly tough, odeonesque imagery
that will become a landmark. All the
apartments have sunny southerly aspects
with big balconies overlooking quiet
sidestreets. With a local supermarket
in the entire ground storey, it's a scheme
that works at every level.
