Located in the heart of Hackney, this stunning residential/ mixed use development for Aitch Group comprised an 8-storey design and build development delivering 53 residential 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units with 10% affordable allocation. At ground floor level, 7,000sqft of commercial/ studio workshop space has been created.  In parallel, a row of historic Regency and Victorian cottages have undergone a significant reconfiguration and restoration programme to create 5 additional residences.

Designed to a high specification finish, Empress Works is sympathetic to the neighbouring historic developments with a precast concrete frame, warehouse style interiors and a layered brick façade. In contrast, modern off-site manufactured bathroom pods and utility cupboards have been installed throughout the scheme.
