Donnybrook Quarter is an innovative housing development in Bow, east London. This beautiful structure redefines the relationship between urban spaces and people in the modern city. These photographs attempt to capture the striking architecture of its traditional housing typology, seen against a backdrop of the existing structures. They show how the buildings have become a dynamic part of the fabric of the city, and how they have succeeded in creating a community around the pedestrianised streets.
