Description of building:
One of the most important late-20th century new developments in central Hackney is the 1983-4 housing development at Sutton Square, Urswick Road. It was designed by the architectural practice Campbell Zogolovitch Wilkinson and Gough (CZWG) for the developers Kentish Homes. It is a large architecturally interesting scheme with post-modernist elements built on the site of the former Metal Box factory with 52 houses and a small block of flats. Sutton Square is a narrow, oblong square with long terraces of two and three-storey houses set around an attractive central garden. A pair of loggias commands the entrance to the square from Urswick Road. The central pond and planting is environmentally important.
