Loughborough Junction, London
As yet unbuilt design, submitted to Lambeth in July 2016 following three pre-application meetings, we believed this incarnation of the scheme would have had the support of the planners and, more importantly, local people, as it rejuvenates a strategic corner on Coldharbour Lane. The forms and articulation of the design, as well as the brickwork and bronze materials used, have been carefully composed to mend the urban fabric in a contextual way and to assert the unique identity of the place. The syncopated rhythm of the facade within the sweeping curves is intended to echo the wider texture of the urban grain a close grid of streets intersected by several railway lines. The site has been sold on.
