Planning 2009
The City Forum, I was an underutilised brownfield site in Islington, London. The proposal site benefited not only from its close proximity to Angel centre and Old Street, but also its location at the southern end of the City Road basin, part of the historical Regent’s canal basin.
The development of masterplan for the 1.8 acre site in north London so the creation of a mixed use scheme which would create 720 new homes, 10,800 sqm of commercial (B1) space, 2,390 sqm of retail shop space, 1,112 sqm of (A3) restaurant space, 160 room student accommodation halls of residence, and a 125 bedroom hotel. The design ethos was to provide a coherent spatial connection between the city basin masterplan to the north and the site, encouraging pedestrian flow between public facilities and events.
