Peter Barber Architects creates five terraces of affordable homes in Greenwich
Peter Barber Architects has created a development of brick housing and a microbrewery at Rochester Way in the London Borough of Greenwich.
Built for the Greenwich-council owned developer Meridian Home Start, the scheme consists of 29 homes that will be available to those working locally at discounted rents.
The homes are arranged along three pedestrian streets that span between Rochester Way and Briset Road in Eltham to create a familiar urban arrangement.

"Seventy per cent of all the buildings in London are housing," explained Peter Barber Architects founder Peter Barber.
"Housing is what our city is made of. It compresses public space into streets, it surrounds our squares," he told Dezeen. "Rochester Way is street-based housing. It is urban. The project employs an unusual courtyard/terrace hybrid type. We are used to seeing terraced housing in London. Courtyard housing is less common."
The housing is arranged around three pedestrian streets
In total the development, which occupies a triangular site, contains 29 homes. At the base of the triangle, the studio created a terrace of mostly two-storey, two-bedroom homes.
The central block contains two rows of back-to-back terraces of two and three-bedroom homes as does the third block, which rises to three storeys and stands alongside a triangular park at the end of the site.
Much of the development is two-storey, two-bedroom homes
