Situated along a railway line in Bethnal Green, the Mint Street development provides 67 mixed-tenure homes. 

The scheme is part of the Peabody Housing Project, one of London's leading social housing providers, who create a mixture of affordable rent, shared-ownership and private sale apartments.

Due to the passing train traffic it was important to create a buffer against the noise. Acoustic intrusion is alleviated significantly by the provision of mechanical ventilation and heat recovery units to all apartments.

This design ensures purge ventilation during the summer to limit overheating in the bedrooms. The design meets the Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4.
