CF Møller appointed on Robin Hood Gardens replacement scheme
Scandinavian firm CF Møller has been appointed alongside Haworth Tompkins and Metropolitan Workshop on the housing scheme that will replace Robin Hood Gardens, the brutalist estate in east London designed by Alison and Peter Smithson.
CF Møller's housing will take the place of the eastern block of the iconic estate, while residences by Haworth Tompkins and Metropolitan Workshop ? who were appointed to the scheme in 2016 ? will sit on the site of the west wing.
The plans form part of the £300 million regeneration of the Robin Hood Gardens estate in Popular, which is being overseen by Swan Housing Association.
The estate, which was completed in 1974, is currently awaiting its demolition, despite a high-profile campaign to save it as a prime example of the brutalist movement. Dezeen recently used a drone to film the estate, which is partially deserted and boarded up in preparation for its demolition in the coming weeks.
CF Møller's design will provide 330 homes ? half of which are to be earmarked as affordable ? for the regeneration scheme known as the Blackwall Reach Regeneration Project.
Early visuals show the range of one- to five-bedroom flats contained within a brick-clad block on the edge of the garden that currently separates the two wings of the brutalist estate. This outdoor space with its distinctive mound is the only element of Robin Hood Gardens that will be retained. It is to be re-landscaped and renamed the Millennium Green.
