10-storey scheme to be one of largest on emerging Hackney Wick masterplan
Hawkins Brown has submitted proposals for a 10-storey mixed-use scheme planned as one of the largest single developments in the emerging Hackney Wick masterplan.
Designed for Scape and University College London, the Atlas Wharf scheme would contain 237 student rooms and 2,360sq m of creative workspace in three building elements facing the River Lee Navigation.
Hawkins Brown is leading a team including Delvendahl Martin Architects, and Studio Weave on the masterplan, which is aiming to create a new town centre and creative district around Hackney Wick station in east London.
The Atlas Wharf scheme would replace an existing commercial warehouse and car park on the site and would be located on one of only two plots on the masterplan earmarked for buildings over nine storeys.
Images of the scheme show a large double-height lounge and study area for student residents on the ground floor with circular statement windows looking out onto the river.
The creative workspace would be contained in an adjoining redbrick-clad building across four storeys, including a basement, envisaged as a light-filled office and makers yard with large industrial-style windows for small businesses.
The project team includes landscape architect Studio ONB, planning consultant CMA Planning, structural engineer Campbell Reith, transport consultant Ardent and energy consultant JAW Sustainability.
