A family in Canary Wharf approached us for planning + building regs full package on a modern apartments property. Constraints: respecting streetscape rhythm typical of Tower Hamlets, maintaining rear garden depth, and meeting Tower Hamlets Council's design expectations for the conservation context (58 conservation areas borough-wide).
