deMetzForbesKnight A landmark corner building on a complex triangular site in Kentish Town Location Kentish Town, London Size 1,200 sqm Budget £6m Kentish Town Square This triangular site has 2 highly visible elevations, facing contrasting contexts, that need to be brought together into a coherent piece of architecture. The building seeks to resolve some complex townscape issues and physical constraints into a landmark form, finding it’s language in its varied and gritty context. Site plan showing Kentish Town Square Site plan in current condition The scheme has been developed in consultation with the Kentish Town Neighbourhood Forum who see this site as at the vanguard of the wider development aspiration for the adjoining Regis Road and Murphy sites. In particular, the long term vision adopted within the Local Plan includes a new Station, a public square, and a pedestrian route connecting Kentish Town to Parliament Hill Lido. Neighbourhood plan extract Our scheme responds to the complex local context, both in terms of it’s stepped plan, and how the forms step in height towards the corner to create a landmark. 1. Site extents 2. Sculpt stepped volume 3. Set back upper parts 4. Mark the corner Architecturally, the building finds it’s roots in other local buildings including The Assembly House, The Bull and Gate, and 1 Highgate Road gently marking floor edges and vertical junctions. 1 Highgate Road Assembly Rooms Bull and Gate Some local buildings have a defined retail base, and a decorative middle section. Key corner buildings like the Assembly House have a defined, marked corner. Our design follows this pattern, with a gently marked corner. Elevation development The elevation to Highgate Road steps in plan, and elevation, rising to a clearly marked corner.
