Mildmay is primarily a residential development of private and social housing and incorporates the Shoreditch Tabernacle Baptist Church and The Mildmay Mission Hospital

Located close to the Shoreditch Triangle on land off Hackney Road, near the Boundary Estate and St Leonard’s Church it is in the heart of Shoreditch. FCBStudios developed the site masterplan through extensive community consultation, working with Matthew Lloyd Architects to realise the detailed design and delivery of the scheme.

Anchored around the listed Tab Centre community building, the design re-establishes the tight urban grain and restores the permeability of historic links across the site through new pedestrian-oriented public realm and outdoor amenity space.

The six individual blocks that make up Mildmay are designed as though sculpted to respond to the surrounding landscape of buildings, streets and open spaces. The dramatic raking forms of the scheme lend a strong character to this part of the Hackney Road Conservation Area. Each of the individual blocks uses a different brick type and colour, yet their common language of architectural details, pitching roofscapes, ground floor front doors, balconies and bay windows unifies their design across the neighbourhood.
