An 89-home scheme in east London designed by pH+, which will focus on “deck living”, has received planning approval.

Destined for developer City and Suburban Homes on a brownfield site in Stratford in the London borough of Newham, the Marshgate Lane project is described by pH+ as highlighting “the potential of high-density living designed around a series of shared spaces linked by a central linear park.

“These homes are a continuation of research into the benefits of deck living in housing and its ability to form new communities,” the architect said.
