About Chowdhury Walk

Chowdhury Walk is a development of 11 affordable houses which stands between two existing terraces and their gardens. The houses are arranged in a two-storey staggered terrace, set along a newly created public thoroughfare for pedestrians and cyclists, with private patio gardens to the rear.

In 2017, the London Borough of Hackney appointed Al-Jawad Pike to design a new housing development on an infill site adjacent to Daubeney Road. Completed in 2022, the development provides a mix of two- and three-bedroom houses, with one fully accessible four-bedroom family house. The houses replaced the garages and car park previously located on the site.

Materially, the houses are constructed from red brick with mono-pitched roofs and a base plinth with planters formed from large format granite blocks. The grey base ties in with the cobbled finish of the new cycle and pedestrian through-route that runs across the site.

In addition to being shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize, Chowdhury Walk has also won a RIBA National Award and RIBA London Award.

The RIBA Stirling Prize 2024 ceremony will be held on 16 October 2024 at the Roundhouse, Lon
