Architectural studio Dallas Pierce Quintero designs a new cluster of homes in London that are accented by its corrugated cladding made from metal and the sawtooth rooftops. These are an indication of its inspiration, which is drawn from the looks of industrial sheds. The Forest Houses project is in Newham and came into fruition as a prototype for infill sites and updated unloved brownfield.
Jonathan Dallas, co-founder of the Dallas Pierce Quintero studio tells Dezeen that "The interlocking buildings have helped reimagine this unloved pocket of space – of which there are many in cities like London – in a way that is space efficient, without compromising on existing amenity space or daylight to neighbouring properties."
