The first stage in the Masterplan for the Town Centre of the London
Borough of Barking, is to provide 200 flats in two new parallel blocks.
They are built above the refurbished library which is to become a
child and adult education facility fronted by a new public square
- Barking Town Square - designed
by Public Realm Architects Muf. Its roof is the shared private garden
between the blocks.
Elevations have a distinctive aluminium skin with coloured glass mosaic
balconies that suggest the varying programme.

On Site: 2010
Value: £34M
This second phase of development around Barking Town Hall and its
new plaza completes an architectural ensemble grouped on either side
of a compact urban woodland called the Arboretum.
To the immediate east of the new Arboretum is the recently completed
apartment building and Learning Centre of Phase 1 which establishes
the identity of the whole scheme. To the West and North are four of
the new Phase II buildings, and one further residential block on Axe
Street to the East of Phase 1. They are deliberately mixed in both
character and size.
The residential accommodation in the scheme contains a variety of
high specification 1, 2 and 3 bed units, each with private amenity
spaces.
The scheme incorporates a sustainability strategy providing 10% renewables
through bio mass heating and wind turbines. Consideration is given
to the material choices and the scheme includes both brown and green
roofs.
