Reactivating the Urban Block through Community, Commerce, and Craft — a mixed-use proposal for Hackney Marian Court that brings together residential, retail, and civic uses within a sensitive urban context.
The proposal responds to the existing grain of the neighbourhood while introducing a new ground-floor activation strategy that reconnects the block with the surrounding streets. Community-focused amenity space is woven throughout, supporting a diverse range of uses at every level.
Sustainability and long-term adaptability are embedded from the outset, with a fabric-first approach informing the structural strategy and material palette.
