Homes for Londoners: A new agenda for public housing

Posted on 27 October 2025

We are proud to see our work so well represented at last week’s launch of the NLA’s Homes for Londoners: A New Model for Public Housing, which brought together some of London’s leading voices in housing, design and policy.

The research sets out a new agenda for how London can deliver more and better public housing, showcasing exemplary design-led projects delivered by local authorities, housing associations, and community-led bodies. Our Marklake Court project is included as a powerful example of what can be achieved via community partnerships, whilst Albion Street provides a very recent example of high-quality, 100% affordable housing delivered by Southwark Council. Both projects were delivered on small, underdeveloped infill sites with public money on public land.

Two of our projects, Marklake Court and Joyce Newman House, are also being exhibited at the London Centre, featuring clips from In the Shadow of the Shard; John Rogers’ documentary exploring the work of Leathermarket CBS and community-led design.

In total, seven of our public housing projects are showcased in the digital publication:

Albion Street, Southwark Council

Church Street, Westminster City Council

Marklake Court and Joyce Newman House, Leathermarket CBS (Southwark)

Orwell House, Chris Braithwaite House and Pyrus House, Tower Hamlets

The Jazz Yard, Sixty Bricks (Waltham Forest)
