On the site of a former waste processing depot, Fish Island Village now accommodates 588 homes and over 5,000 square metres of commercial space in a new masterplan of tree lined streets, distinctive yards, a square, and 200 metres of canal frontage. This is successful placemaking, and the three architecture practices worked together closely with their client to achieve it.
Ground rules were adopted from the start, including a rigorous architectural language and material palette drawing on the area’s heritage of industry, fashion, and artistic production. Key building typologies and materials were set. Building heights were restricted to between six and seven storeys. The character of the buildings and spaces has both variety and consistency. It all feels cohesive, robust, and confident. The early establishment of a community hub with occupied working studios helped to set the scene.
