Forest Side

Chingford, East London

Three new homes on Forest Side in Chingford, replacing a single bungalow. Harp & Harp took on the site after an earlier application by another applicant was refused, and the design evolved through a successful pre-application process with Waltham Forest planners before being submitted for planning.

The scheme provides three duplex, family-sized homes, each with generous private amenity space. White brick, red clay tiles and deep green joinery answer the pitched roofs and brick detail of the surrounding streets, while the arched window, perforated brick screens and stepped balustrades let the terrace read clearly as new.
