Location: Islington London N1
Client: Coexistence
Project Year: 1990-2012
Cost: £100k - £500k
On Upper street and Cross Street a new building, a glazed link gallery and conference room, new shop fronts and a roof extension.On Canonbury Lane a new floor, hidden behind the existing parapet. Within the Conservation Area it was deemed important that the new studio should be invisible from the nearby Canonbury Square, but the long views south over Islington towards the City could be enjoyed to the full. A wide terrace sits behind the lowered south facing parapet, the window wall and roof is raked to follow the sight lines from the Square to create a bold asymmetrical dimension to the simple rectangular plan.
