Our design journey so far
We’ve taken time to carefully assess the site to understand what can be retained, whilst exploring sustainable approaches that respect the site’s history.
While we looked at a number of options, the current building presents several challenges that limit its potential for modern use:

Owing to its adaptations over the years, the building lacks key features such as access to natural light that are essential for homes and other uses.

The building is in poor condition, with structural limitations and missing foundations in key areas, making it unsuitable for adaptation into smaller, compartmentalised spaces.

Much of the existing plant equipment is outdated, inefficient, and at the end of its life.

Retaining the current building would significantly reduce the site’s potential to deliver the affordable and student homes that Camden needs.
