Seema Manchanda, Service director Strategic Planning and Regeneration, Islington, discusses the concept of ‘the new Islington vernacular’ which is taking the form of a design competition to develop a new exemplary architectural design for affordable family housing. Working with the HCA, Homes for Islington, the LDA, local residents and panel of three architects, the new type of housing will provide a sustainable, spacious and high quality living environment for its residents. Islington Council would like this form of housing to become as emblematic of Islington as its Georgian town houses. The winning design will be built onsite at Vaudeville Court, Finsbury Park.
