Video Interview: Matt and Farrah from GPAD discuss the key design moves for Golden Lane

Matt and Farrah from GPAD discuss the key design moves for Golden Lane, a sensitive refurbishment and contemporary extension of a locally listed Board School.

“What I’ve particularly enjoyed about the project is being able to think about the design on more of an urban scale, and how it interacts with the wider city. The building has lost its identity, because of the post-war development to the south, and the various new buildings that have appeared in the last few years have hidden what used to be a prominent entrance sequence.”- Matt Iliffe, Project Architect

Located in Islington bordering the City of London, the proposals for Golden Lane breathe new life into the historical building to provide unique office and educational space. A new extension inspired by the original buildings intricate brick detailing and metalwork is introduced to the former playground, whilst a new entrance fronting Baltic Street, unites old and new, to provide an enhanced and more legible sense of arrival.
