Urban diversity: Revisiting an existing consent and engaging a variety of designers and end users in a big site can pay dividends in terms of place-making and diversity. Fish Island demanded this approach.

When a highly respected institution decided to build homes, only one approach made sense: a partnership with its local community.

Mind the gap: Cities are full of unexploited gaps which can take time and energy to find and develop. Peabody ‘found’ 300 new homes on its land using a careful strategic approach, including a Stirling Prize nominee. What could your land yield?

A jewel on the high road: Restraint was the watchword in this Leytonstone scheme. We asked a leading UK architect to craft a gem for a corner site on the neighbourhood’s characterful high road.

Frameworks that work: How can your organisation procure 50 talented and grounded design and construction consultancies without losing the will to live? Keep it simple and enjoyable – that’s how.

Little and large: A major UK housebuilder collaborated with a small architectural practice on a very challenging east London railway-side site. The result was a multi-award-winning scheme for Peabody.

A garage site with a difference: A Victorian estate gained 56 homes and an arts-oriented community space, enhancing life for all age groups via intensive resident dialogue.

150 homes for 150 years: Plaistow’s Fever Hospital provided the inspiration for a competition run by Peabody to celebrate its 150th anniversary, including a prize for student entries.

From garage to garden: Over 100 homes, a new street and a bold artwork replaced garages on a K&C estate. Find out how the landscape made this new place knit with its context.

Small is beautiful: Heavy procurement processes and hurdles can be very off-putting to small practices, locking them out of smaller public sector projects. This initiative broke through the red tape.

Inclusive renewal: Residents were at the heart of plans to redevelop a Peabody estate, and have now moved into new homes there. Artwork and architectural detail also added huge value – find out how.

Intricate design and build: Architect and contractor worked closely together throughout the project to squeeze maximum development and social value from this impossible site, named after a maternity pioneer.
