Scale and Building Heights

Integration with the emerging context, IXO have been in continuous dialogue with Newham Council

We have:

  • Adopted heights in line within the site allocation (ranging from 2 to 15 storeys)
  • Articulated the tall elements as ‘landmark’ in keeping with the approach taken by the Canning Town Masterplan team
  • Introduced heigh datums that reinforce the legibility of the wider masterplan, in framing kep routes, and optimising ground level microclimate (daylighting, noise and wind) keeping with neughbouring emerging proposals 7-storey datum to respond to the surrounding context
