The brief was to develop this existing building on Kingsland Road, Dalston, into a mixed use commercial and residential project. The site, located on an old Roman road, has historic significance, and was developed in the late 19th Century. It takes an almost perfect vertical route through North London towards Stoke Newington, Haringey and beyond.
The area was significantly bombed during the Second World War, which explains why this building differs architecturally from the wider terrace. T2S felt it was logical to reinstate the language of the Georgian terrace to the front, whilst proposing a modern extension at the rear to retain a sense of historic honesty to the design.
Our design took the form of 3 distinct forms – front (Historical); middle (neutral); rear (modern). The concept for the rear block was to create something completely different to the front mass. Where the historical façade features vertical lines, hierarchy and formality – the rear looked to be unified and informal.
The mass was pitched to reduce the impact on the surrounding windows, with a playful window pattern used in an informal manner. The neutral central mass was where we located the staircase. Here we used a bronze-coloured cladding panels which acted as a visual pivot for the other forms.
This central zone also housed a lightwell which was used to allow daylight into what is a very deep linear plan.
For the proposals include 7 residential units, with commercial space on ground floor. Works are expected to begin towards the middle of 2024.
Avenue HeightsThe project brief was to extend a existing linear residential block on the edge of Crouch End, North London. As the design developed, the client extended the works to demolish and rebuild the linear block to improve the quality of the apartments whilst maintaining the contemporary architectural style.

New MaldenThe client's brief was to develop the upper floors whilst retaining the existing Commercial space on ground floor. Planning permission is sought for 9 residential apartments within a modern building over 5 stories. The intention is to occupy the commercial space before the rest of the development is completed so the team has had to factor this into the design. The existing first floor, roofs, structure and slab will be removed; with the existing external walls on ground floor retained creating the Commercial demise. This allows for a cleaner phasing of the construction works.
