Ivy Street

This 4 story mixed use building in London’s Shoreditch, located in the Hoxton Street conservation area, retains and restores the façade of the original Victorian pub, while redeveloping the site and adjacent land to provide a community facility at ground and basement level, with a residential unit on the upper floors.

The project is being developed in partnership with the Ivy Street Family Centre who have been engaged with the Hoxton community for over 30 years. The renovation and extension of the building will allow their work to continue, maintaining a unique community resource.

“Its bold form and playful character arise from a kind of genetic engineering, splicing together diverse motifs borrowed from the history of architecture, and recombining distinctive features of assorted buildings and spaces that surround the house,” says Chris Foges of the RIBA Journal
