Residential led, mixed use masterplan
£Undisclosed
Bromley-by-Bow is an area undergoing rapid physical and social change. The olympic site is within a short walk, Stratford International provides international connections within a ten minute journey and some of East London’s largest regeneration projects, including major housing schemes, are underway.
The challenging site is surrounded by development pressure. Fourthspace is working with the client to support their position through this challenging and fluid period. A scoping report presented the client with physical options for the site, presenting a number of scenarios including a ‘do nothing’ option. The physical options were accompanied by analysis on investment, financial appraisals, planning and environment. The scoping report has provided valuable guidance to the client to help them through this challenging period.
Fourthspace are now working on a design and planning strategy to deliver over 180 units within a residential led mixed-use masterplan. The design will accommodate the clients needs on site and deliver significant value uplift. The design is context driven, aspiring to help tie together this fragmented part of the city.

210 Plaistow Road, London, E13 0AL
Mixed use residential led development including 14 storey tower
Construction cost £4-5 million
Fourthspace have been commissioned by an international property consortium to develop an interesting site in Plaistow. The site, occupying a central position opposite Plaistow underground station, currently lies derelict and undervalued. This has ramifications for the wider area, creating a sense of neglect within a fractured landscape, in what is a prominent position, well served by public transport.
Fourthspace have developed a design that works at the strategic and local scale. At the strategic scale the design reconnects the disparate parts of Plaistow, providing a new focus for the neighbourhood and rebalancing the town centre towards the station.
The residential led mixed use scheme provides 39 apartments all meeting the new London Housing Design Guide requirements as well as new commercial and leisure opportunities. At the local scale the scheme upgrades the landscaping of the area around the station. Currently run down and neglected, the immediate area around the station will be renewed, improving the wayfinding around the station and encouraging sustainable modes of transport.
In total the scheme provides 40 residential mixed tenure flats, 887 sqm of employment space, 136 sqm of retail space and a cafe.
Fourthspace worked with Public Works to develop a community strategy that will help to integrate the new residents with the existing area. Vegetable gardens, community markets and social activities all form part of this strategy.
