More spirals, George Loveless House
Designed by renowned architect Berthold Lubetkin, George Loveless House and the neighbouring James Hammett House were two of the first to feature high level blocks using reinforced concrete. But over the years, the two blocks had fallen into disrepair and the external coatings, walkways, columns, decks, aggregate panels and mastic joints were in need of a serious refurbishment.
“George Loveless House and James Hammett House were built in 1957 and due to lack of investment over recent times, the appearance of the building had been affected,” commented Jamie Carswell, Director of Investment of Tower Hamlets Homes. “When Tower Hamlets Homes was set up in 2008 to manage the Tower Hamlets Council housing stock, both buildings were included on a programme of capital works. The concrete works helped to achieve a sympathetic restoration of the block and residents have been positive about the works. A range of products from Sika were selected.”
