Hackney Council has commissioned a team including Authentic Futures, Adam Khan Architects, Muf Architecture/Art and Apparata and others, to investigate nine small sites across Dalston and Hackney Central with a view to providing additional housing. 

Each site comes with complex histories and heritage issues. There are public buildings, street markets, historic factories and ancient routes and desire lines that still exert a pull. Authentic Futures has investigated the history of each of the sites, and assessed the significance and condition of the structures then advised on their development potential. Ongoing.
