Our vision for Titchfield House creates a BREEAM excellent mixed use building and was granted planning approval in 2020. Douglas and King Acted as Architect, Design Team and Project Manager. The design of Titchfield House draws on the area’s typical warehouse structures and is a contemporary nod to their character and inherent architectural legacy.

The design employs a pure architectural form in direct contrast to the outdated ‘70’s vernacular building it will replace:  a utilitarian afterthought that neither harmonized or neutralized itself within it’s immediate urban context.

Its location is the corner of Tabernacle Street and Singer Street and the new building will strengthen and articulate these two streetscapes both in height and materiality.

At 5 storeys the building matches the existing parapet height of Tabernacle Street with a glazed recessed roofscape reflecting other typical Shoreditch sky space developments.

The new building’s façade was designed to be of a lightweight brick construction with deep reveals to emphasise the purity of the architecture.  The interior will offer high quality working environments, flexible and affordable, aimed at SMEs, to compliment the city fringe businesses and the growth of Shoreditch’s tech hub.

Since the sucessful granting of approval for the building the clients brief has changed and the project has been taken forward by another team hoping to acheive an alternative use on the site.

The design team and delivery of this project was led by Douglas and King Architects. For information on our processes read our blog on creative leadership by CLICKING HERE
