Lock Keepers

Proposed

The dynamic form of this mixed-use scheme maximises views up and down the adjacent canal and fully exploits the southerly aspect, with a series of raked landscaped roof terraces.

The scheme occupies a unique but challenging strip of land between watercourses, adjacent to canal locks at Tottenham Hale and is overlooked by significant towers and developments to the east and west.

This context has driven the scheme concept, with long shielding brick-clad flank walls contrasting with open glazed ends to the north & south. The unique profile of the building form has been shaped on plan and section to maximise views up and down the canal and to exploit the southerly aspect, with a series of raked landscaped roof terraces.

Resilient London: confronting climate change

Resilient London: confronting climate change

The scheme occupies a unique but challenging strip of land between watercourses,
adjacent to canal locks at Tottenham Hale and is overlooked by significant towers
and developments to the east and west. The scheme plugs into a neighbourhood
district heating system in an adjacent development. Mixed building uses maximise
consistent energy demands and efficiency throughout the day. Cascading blue and
intensive green roofs incorporate significant planting, rainwater attenuation and
habitat generation. Soft and hard landscaping will enhance the public and semipublic
realm at the building’s base.
