This range of uses are brought together on the lower ground floors, which have been created through in-depth consultation with local stakeholders, producers, and education organisations. The civic-minded mixed-use development looks to add a new social focus to the area, embodying the aspiration of the ‘Destination City’ vision by taking a constrained infill site and adding a mix of leisure, entertainment, cultural and educational spaces. The building’s external form is characterised by a warm palette of red-chestnut tones in matt and glazed bricks, complementing the listed building nearby, whilst the Carlisle Avenue façade uses accents of brighter red glazed bricks as a highlight. The material palette has been used to situate the building within its surrounding, with accents helping mark the arrival of a major new building for the area.

A strong cornice two-thirds up the building negotiates the transition in scale, and, above this, a crown of brick fins taper upwards, with the greenery of the rooftop visible at the very top.

The main façade has deep set windows with glazed brick reveals. The building’s distinctive curved form follows the alignment of the historic Jewry Street, with the base articulated by arched vaults that echo the Victorian railway arches nearby. Architecture practice Sheppard Robson has been granted planning permission for Boundary House, a 311-room hotel, community and co-working spaces, and rooftop restaurant at the eastern fringe of London.
