For a mixed-used site in the heart of London’s East End, the planning was developed. Located between Bethnal Green Road and Redchurch Street, the radical transformation of a former industrial site was proposed by the scheme for the Huntingdon Industrial Estate into an innovative and energized commercial, cultural and residential centre.
By responding to the duality inherent in the site, the plinth and tower structure complimented surroundings. With the same small scale, the plinth was modeled, fragmented grain of historic Shoreditch and uses materials, which echoed the tough, light industrial character of the area. Supported by capped rent, which would continue to contribute to this expanding community, the different sized retail spaces were designed specifically to attract local, small and independent businesses.
Rising from the plinth, twisting elegantly as it reached upwards, the high rise building was positioned immediately opposite the new Shoreditch station. With a material palette of glass and zinc-coated steel of different scales, textures and finishes, a low density mass over the majority of the site was enabled. An urban grain that integrated with the surroundings was created. Enabling optimum daylight for new and existing homes, and minimizing unwanted solar gain, the sophisticated dynamic form responded to solar conditions throughout the day. A rich mix of apartment sizes, and a green landscaped roof, a variety of environmentally friendly, energy-efficient homes would be offered in this sought after location. A precedent would be set for landmark quality apartments.
