Sam Jacob Studio’s mixed-use development in the Hoxton Street conservation area retains the façade of the Victorian pub originally on the site while creating ground-floor community facilities with an apartment above.
The four-storey scheme will restore the last remaining piece of what was once a terraced street razed to the ground by bombing during the Second World War.
The new block is expressed as a curved wall punctured by diamond-shaped window openings.
