About The Project

In contrast to the discreet interventions in sensitive sites so often required by our clients, the Waltham Forest Housing Action Trust was keen to have a landmark building for the Click Youth Technology Centre. Click is a forward looking addition to the life of the Leytonstone community, providing IT facilities and training for local young people. The building's unusual elliptical shape is a reflection of the teenagers’ desire for an architecturally ‘modern’ building, as well as a response to the nature of the site; it makes it stand out as a landmark in the high street setting and creates a sympathetic gateway that embraces the new Jubilee Park located directly to the east.
