Forest Road is shortlisted for the AJ Architecture Awards 2025 in the Housing category. The panel of judges will visit the building in September, in a tour led by the project architect, Andrew Tam.

The project delivers 90 affordable one-bedroom homes for local first-time buyers in Walthamstow, on a prominent site opposite Lloyd Park and the William Morris Gallery. Inspired by the curved bay windows of the William Morris Gallery, lintels are gently concave to catch soft shadows that animate with changing light. The material palette contains a mix of warm white, grey, plum, pink and red tones acknowledging the diverse colours of surrounding buildings.
