The annual Brick Awards ceremony will take place this evening, hosted by The Brick Development Association (BDA). Forest Road in Walthamstow is shortlisted for the Brick Awards 2024 in the Medium Housing Development category. Designed for Pocket Living, Forest Road provides 90 affordable one-bedroom homes for local first-time buyers and makes excellent use of an under-utilised site, to provide 100% affordable homes. Inspired by the curved bay windows of the neighbouring William Morris Gallery, lintels are gently concave to catch soft shadows that animate with changing light. All precast elements are coloured to match the pink/red tones of Floren Vecchio brick. The material palette contains a mix of warm white, grey, plum, pink and red tones acknowledging the diverse colours of surrounding buildings, with a storey-height band of darker bricks - Floren Tartufo - forming a base to the building.
