Nimtim Architects’ winning proposal for Becontree Estate
Nimtim Architects has won an RIBA competition to reimagine neglected areas of the Becontree Estate in east London.
The agenda-setting project was built 100 years ago as part of the garden city movement and became the largest municipal housing estate in the world with 26,000 homes and, at one point, 100,000 people on four square miles of land in Barking & Dagenham.
The public realm contest is part of a series of centenary celebrations which will also see two exhibitions mounted at the RIBA’s headquarters on Portland Place this autumn.
Nimtim, working with artist Katie Schwab, beat a shortlist featuring Okra Studio, Studio Aki with Hayhurst and Co, the Resolve Collective and Studio Gil with Tisserin Engineers.
