FIVE REASONS TO SUPPORT THIS PROPOSAL!

1. INVISIBLITY
The proposed development has little impact on the Conservation Area: it’s 92% invisible!

2. NATURAL SURVEILLANCE
Where the proposal becomes visible, this is advantageous as it overlooks that part of the
Conservation Area, which is suffering neglect and crime. Improved natural surveillance will help
protect and preserve the Conservation Area.

3. HISTORIC CROWN
This proposal celebrates the site’s railway associations (both historic and contemporary) by
elevating the former Station such that it crowns the new development. Atop will be a community
space where the architecture represents an archeological subversion: the historical is layered over the contemporary. Resurrected, the former Shoreditch Underground station is now visually connected i.e. visible from
the new Shoreditch High Street station.

4. HIGH QUALITY HOUSING
Beneath the historic crown sits new high quality housing. Each dwelling is Lifetime Homes
compliant achieving Code 4 of the Sustainable Homes standard. Each dwelling has abundant
natural light featuring triple aspect views, floor-to-ceiling windows and the maximum possible
fenestration with its 35% perforated housing façade. Each flat has a library that replaces the
traditional narrow corridor.

5. GREATER INTERACTIVITY
The proposed development is mixed-use with three commercial floors with the ground floor
providing interactivity with Pedley Street and Allen Gardens.
