This high profile, pedestrian orientated scheme that converts an existing roundabout island at Old Street into an urban peninsula that provides a gateway space for the underground station.

Known as the silicon roundabout, Old Street is a high profile, pedestrian orientated scheme that converts an existing roundabout island into an urban peninsula. It naturally forms an extension to the tree-lined Promenade of Light and provides a gateway space to the new entrance for the London Underground station. The design explores innovative solutions to promote climate resilience, biodiversity and user experience through a series of designed initiatives that visually and physically demonstrate the integration of green infrastructure within a very complex and demanding space.
