East Village

Eric Parry Architects design for Block N10 of East Village (formerly the Athletes’ Village) in Stratford City was completed successfully for the 2012 London Olympics.

Block N10 is a ‘mansion block’ development of six number ten storey blocks comprising three storey townhouses to ground levels with seven floors of apartments above, giving 281 units in total. N10 housed around 1,700 athletes (10% of the total) during the Olympics and then Paralympics.

There was a programme of temporary works to adapt the units to accommodate the athletes, and then another phase of temporary removals and final fit-out post-Games. Pre-Games handover was in early 2012, post-Games completion was in 2013.
