The Storyteller
Stakeholder engagement has been central to the project, with the design team working closely with the local community through Resident Steering Groups and public consultations. Co-design and consultation meetings with local residents and the neighbouring nursery have informed key themes including massing, play spaces, greening, and access.
‘The Phoenix Road Performing Gardens’ also featured a performing stage on the central point of the road, offering an opportunity for passers-by to practice, play or observe a theatrical moment.
The Performer
Addressing the busiest corner of Phoenix Road, the speaker’s podium acted as Somers Town’s own speaker’s corner, a platform for residents and visitors walking through with something to say.

Fellows Court forms part of a wider Hackney programme delivering new social housing and public realm across multiple sites.
The scheme provides 28 family homes through efficient, sensitive layouts that respond to the character of the post-war estate.
Extensive community engagement has shaped thresholds, play areas, greening, and access, creating homes that are functional, welcoming, and sustainable.
