Q Building
Stratford, London E15
East London Developments Ltd
At the Q Building, Buckley Gray Yeoman achieved very high density levels, for a very low budget. It worked because the site had been part of an overall masterplan from an early stage, and the building designed for a context yet to come. The site links the main shopping street in Stratford with the cultural quarter. The elevations give a sense of movement, with sliding timber screens animating the facade, providing individual occupiers with control of their own privacy.
