The scheme houses 183 residential units, above three levels of retail and incubator office spaces, as well as roof gardens and a new public realm. Its animated silhouette and colonnaded base, situated opposite the Tottenham Hale transport hub, create a memorable new identity rooted in place. It references the area’s industrial heritage, particularly the adjacent Berol House which was once part of the Eagle Pencil Company Factory, with a ‘carved’ and animated perimeter block. This is expressed through a distinctive, faceted form and a more pronounced verticality. With a rich orange brick outer skin and a shimmering metal inner skin, the design is inspired by the graphic colors and hexagonal forms of the iconic Berol Eagle Pencil. These have been translated formally as abstract surface patterns within the building.
