Former London Chest Hospital
Sold Out
Situated within this historic enclave, Latimer's transformation of the Bethnal Green former London Chest Hospital site in E2 will deliver an exciting mix of new housing. Designed with a combination of innovative architecture and historic appreciation, the project is set to represent contemporary living whilst paying homage to the character of Oldham's past state, reflecting both three centuries worth traditions as well how various disciplines may lead one into modern-era oriented future.

Project Details: The redevelopment project includes the conversion of the Grade II-listed main hospital building, Sanitary Tower and South Wing whilst retaining their historical character. It will deliver five new buildings, adding 274 homes (across half of which would be affordable housing) caringly knitted into the established resident base in Bethnal Green - including some very much needed for Social Rent; a grand total: 76.
Architecture The design approach consists of not only adaptive reuse of the existing listed structures, but also modern architectural implants. This balanced approach preserves the history of the site while also updating for urban living.
Community and Open spaces: At the heart of redevelopment is enhancing community open areas. The project includes a proposal to construct new square on St James's Avenue and re-landscape the existing historical formal lawn in front of the hospital, transforming it into public lawn that is available for use by everyone. These areas are designed to encourage community interaction and involvement without making a hard distinction from the surrounding urban environment.
Natural Heritage Conservation: One of the most striking aspects of the project was to conserve the old Mulberry tree, an iconic natural landmark in East London. This is illustrative of the intent to maintain ecological and cultural continuance in the development.
The ambitious project not only aims to provide new homes, but also re-energise a historically significant site and make it an example of community activism as well as heritage preservation in Bethnal Green.
