Regent Canalside Affordable HousingImages1 / Information
Location Camden, London
Status Completed 2004
Description
Squire and Partners were appointed to design this residential led mixed use scheme on Regent’s Canal. The resulting scheme comprised 55 residential units, of which 13 were designated as affordable housing.
The design was inspired by the existing local architecture as well as nearby Camden Market and Regent’s Canal. The choice of materials was influenced by the surrounding residential and industrial buildings which are composed of London Stock Brick in a variety of the colours. Vertical and horizontal window proportions of the typical Camden terraced house were retained, and occasional vertical panels and projected balconies were incorporated to create additional space for residents.
A new pedestrian link and waterside café along with native planting and landscaping have also been added to the site, increasing the biodiversity of the area and improving public access and use of the canal.
