Award for Becontree
Labour Councillors for Becontree Ward, Muhammad Saleem and Edna Fergus have today welcomed news that 200 Becontree Avenue has received a prestigious RIBA London Architecture Award.
The building encompasses 19 affordable homes and a community space across two villa-style buildings. It was designed by architecture practice Archio for BeFirst, Barking and Dagenham Council’s regeneration organisation.
The RIBA’s architecture judges praised the architects for their “thorough research into the history and housing typologies of the Becontree Estate on which it sits. The estate is low-rise, embodying garden city principles, and dates from the 1920s–30s. It is considered to be the largest original social housing scheme in Europe. The team drew inspiration from the estate, resulting in a detailed understanding of and sensitivity to the local vernacular which they adeptly translated and updated.”
You can read more about the award, including the full citation from the jury, at the website of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
