New vision for Robin Hood Gardens

5th August 2016

The first images of the new homes set to replace Robin Hood Gardens, the brutalist estate in Tower Hamlets on the north side of the Blackwall Tunnel, have been released. Developer Swan Housing Association has enlisted Metropolitan Workshop and Haworth Tompkins to design two towers each, to replace the famed Alison and Peter Smithson-designed buildings. The 268 apartments in the four new mid-size blocks will be offered to local residents first, then to buyers across London three months later, before the sales process is thrown open to all.
