Huntingdon Estate 2009
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.

The mixed residential, business communities and the varying scales of residential building reflected the density and diversity, and the innovative and creative spirit which defined this area. This complex urban context was addressed and drew on the site’s vibrancy and pivotal position on the City fringe.
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.
Londo new castle developed and submitted The Huntingdon Estate scheme for planning in March following in depth consultations with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, GLA, CABE, EH and local residents and community groups.
Part of a mixed use development proposal in Shoreditch, London by Amanda Levete Architects was this twisted residential tower clad in zinc-coated steel. Retail spaces were provided at ground floor as well as a gallery, creative workshops and a covered market, proposed on a former industrial site opposite the new station. The building design had been submitted for planning.

Abu Dhabi Airport, UAE, Interior

When presented with elements that suggest an image it can recognize, the mind fills in the missing pieces to form the simplest and largest figure. The related mental operation that makes this possible is the impulse toward continuity and closure. What appears to be a fragment of a circle will be completed as a circle rather than a crescent or some other shape, and the curved line will be seen as being broken where the short line “crosses” it.
