Ahhh, well this is awkward! 😳😳😳 We just posted the wrong photo of the winning design 😳😳😳 so we’re re-posting with the correct illustration now 😳😳😳 Thanks to @jakemiddletonbrown for contacting us to highlight the error 👍! Nevertheless, still very exciting to see these plans for Queen’s Gardens!
Developer HUB is building 513 new homes, designed by @ahmmarchitects, on the site where the council offices used to stand (with 40 per cent set to be affordable). Work started in May and is expected to be completed in 2021.
As part of the #TabernerHouse scheme, a competition was arranged for young architects to submit designs for a public cafe that would form part of the development. This week, saw the announcement of the winner, Dora Felekou, whose ‘House of Cards’ concept was selected by a team of judges.
As Dora explains; “The structural elements of House of Cards all bear different colour treatments that are inspired by Croydon’s street art and are also a symbol of the diverse local community. Two levels of the café have different goals: the café is the centre of activity whereas the belvedere is a beacon, attracting attention to what is happening below. The café’s design is adaptable, it grows with the residents, changing and always versatile, it becomes the centre of their collective memories.” For more information, click the link to the @architectsjournal article in our Twitter profile.
