The redevelopment of the Elephant and Castle Town Centre in London, United Kingdom, is one of city’s largest regeneration projects.
Architects Allies and Morrison have designed a masterplan for developers Delancey and Get Living, revitalizing the precinct with open-air public spaces and seamless connections to surrounding neighbourhoods.
Their design includes 1,000 new homes, a new campus for the London College of Communication (LCC) and the University of Arts London (UAL), a new London underground station, commercial space and a retail town centre.
Inhabit has been engaged to provide façade consultancy for design, thermal and daylight analysis on the buildings.
The London College of Communication (LCC) will be housed in a new 12-storey building with a façade inspired by a ‘type case printing tray’ which the architects describe as a nod to the LCC’s origins as the London College of Printing and influenced by the inner logic and principles of printing.
The building envelope has been designed as a unitised curtain wall system of external dark coloured GRC panels and internal metal opening vent panels. Windows are clustered to respond to function and to create a striking visual effect.
The residential component of the project comprises six high-rise buildings and three mansion buildings with a mix of accommodation developed primarily for the rental sector and including social housing.
The existing Elephant and Castle shopping centre will be replaced with a mix of high street and independent retailers, including existing shopping centre traders, with enhanced restaurant and leisure opportunities.
