The site, located on Vyner Street and adjacent to Regent's Canal, used to be the heart of East London’s art scene. As a result of the Great Recession and gentrification, galleries in the area were forced to shut their doors and the art scene came to a halt. Artists have made attempts to revive the area and its heritage, revealing a glimpse of hope for the rejuvenation of the area's art scene once again.

The proposal aims to bridge together the different social crowds, with the architecture acting as a social condenser. Shifting the entrance of the street to the park side redirects pedestrian circulation and attention. This encourages traffic and the revival of Vyner Street’s art scene.

With a contextualist approach, the project seeks ways to naturally weave the landscape while preserving its architectural identity. The area's history as a site of silk weaving informs the design of the roof tiles. This reflects its local climate while mirroring how thousands of threads form textiles; a site-specific fabric reflecting its locality.
