Chowdhury Walk by Al-Jawad Pike is shortlisted for RIBA's Stirling Prize 2024.
Chowdhury Walk is an exemplary blueprint for social housing: Built on a plot previously occupied by garages and ad-hoc parking, these 11 homes - of which seven are social-rented - herald the development of a new generation of ambitious council housing in Hackney, East London.
A sculptural form gives a strong, confident presence to the staggered two-story terrace that weaves along a newly created public thoroughfare for pedestrians and cyclists. Clever sequencing creates a meaningful route through the development and provides privacy from overlooking neighbours, while also supporting passive solar gain.
Presented by the Royal Institute of British Architects since 1996, the Stirling Prize recognises the UK’s best new architecture.
