Henley Halebrown completes "hybrid building" in Hackney with red concrete loggia

London studio Henley Halebrown has used a palette of reddish-brown concrete and bricks to visually tie together a school and housing in this mixed-use scheme in Hackney, which is one of six projects shortlisted for this year's RIBA Stirling Prize.
Located on the busy Kingsland Road at the edge of the De Beauvoir conservation area, the scheme combines Hackney New Primary School with shops and a residential tower with 68 apartments for not-for-profit housing charity Dolphin Living.
