“An example of the new wave of council-led housing beginning to gain momentum across London, in defiance of Tory housing policy, the first phase of the Bacton Estate regeneration in Camden comprises around 50 new social-rented homes, with a mixture of four-bed townhouses and two-bed maisonettes cleverly interlocked in a handsome brick block. Developed with the close involvement of an active residents’ association, it shows how councils can do it for themselves, retaining value in perpetuity, without a developer creaming off the profit.” Oliver Wainwright, Guardian architecture critic
