Apparata architecture studio is behind this sustainable housing development in Barking town centre, east London, and artistic creativity; all roll into one in this latest project by Apparata architects in Barking town centre in east London. A House for Artists is a new multi-family residential project, conceived as a replicable model for flexible living space that promotes civic engagement and community-building.
A House for Artists, as its name suggests, is set to house 12 artists and their families in a single building, designed by emerging London-based studio Apparata, headed by Nicholas Lobo Brennan, Astrid Smitham and Theo Thysiades. Create London, the organisation behind several acclaimed public-realm projects, co-commissioned the scheme.
‘Apparata’s starkly legible and playful design is civic to the core. Combining public-facing spaces and artist studios with an innovative housing model, its deliberate transparency invites the public in, while the spatial arrangement of the flats give residents the option of shared spaces and collective arrangements without compromising their privacy,’ says its senior curator Diana Ibáñez López. Flexibility and fresh thinking was central to Apparata’s response to the brief.
While the building’s spaces come together as a seamless whole, there is a clear distinction between public and private, with public areas, such as workshops and an ongoing arts programme, on the ground level, while apartments are placed on the floors above.
The building combines an open and creative nature with its strong forms out of geometric, exposed concrete, and a number of sustainable strategies . A House for Artists is a powerful addition to its east London neighbourhood, as well as the wider housing scene beyond. §
