Homes are compact but cleverly designed, with big windows, smart storage and flexible layouts that make every square metre count. Shared roof terraces, a sunny courtyard and landscaped gardens give residents places to relax, grow food and meet neighbours, while circulation spaces are designed for chance encounters and community connections. The building’s warm brick tones, soft curves and playful roofline give it character, fitting seamlessly into Walthamstow’s streets. Forest Road E17 proves that affordable homes can feel aspirational, social and rooted, perfect for first time buyers looking to put down real roots in their own corner of London.

An award-winning Design Code has embedded sustainability throughout the development. All homes are fossil fuel free and set within 27 acres of green space, including a central green corridor that supports biodiversity and enables the movement of wildlife across the scheme. The project’s success has been recognised by the council, describing it as “a model for low- carbon, nature-integrated living”.
