New Build
Dalston is a rapidly evolving central urban suburb. The Site is flanked by studio workshops , a halel superstore and a mosque, formally a synagogue. The area has a dynamic mixture that makes up this special community. Currently the dominant immigrants being from the Caribbean, Africa and Turkey. The area has dramatically transformed since the Jewish Community started to move-on in the early 1970s. Dalston is soon to be connected to the City by a new Monorail. Travel times to the Stock Exchange will be reduced from 35mins to 12 mins . This area is likely to change once again. The design responds to the shifting qualities of the area with a South Street elevation that has a range of coloured sliding screens that merge and diverge on a regular basis.
