Brookes Estate
The regeneration of the Brooks Estate is inextricably linked with the wider regeneration programme for this part of east London. The estate is geographically well located close to local transport links and shops and the proposed Community Resource Centre on Plaistow Road will create a valuable community and health provision for the area. This coupled with the residential master plan, which will create hundreds of new homes in the area presents a community in a state of catharsis. The challenge of this competition is how best to develop proposals which can work within this exciting context, improve the quality of the housing stock and the built environment, while importantly, minimising disruption to the existing community.
