Connection to Harringay Warehouse District

Drawing on the creative history of the Harringay Warehouse District; and addressing the prominent location on the corner of Seven Sisters road -BRA designers, propose a multi-functional space for visitors and the local community.

Inspired by the local community’s adaptation to economic and societal change, our design can be reconfigured to accommodate the requirements of the community on a hour by hour basis. In the day, the scheme acts as a street market and at night is transformed into a multi-use event space. Conceptually, both day and night the proposal celebrates the community; encouraging people to come together.

Proposal Outline

The District is a multi-experience venue for the local community and visitors alike that draws on the creative history of the Harringay Warehouse District and addresses the prominent site location that intersects both Seven Sisters Road and Eade Road.

Inspired by the local community’s adaptation to economic and societal change, our design can be reconfigured to accommodate the requirements of the community on an hour by hour basis.

By day, the scheme acts as a street food market and at night is transformed into a multi-use event space for theatre or music. The scheme in it’s entirety focuses on celebrating the community and offering a social hub for spontaneous interaction and creative displays.

The food huts will rest on wheels that can be simply pushed between locations to transform the space depending on the required function. The site fence will be removed for the installation and replaced by static security planters that will hug the food huts depending on the desired mode.

Community, location and sustainability are at the forefront of our design philosophy. As such, we look to utilise local materials in our schemes. Local recycled materials will offer the opportunity to enrich the character of the proposal and will aid embed the development within the urban fabric of the site. Our proposal seeks to utilise local timber where possible.

A green aesthetic will be applied to the site both for ecological and aesthetic reasoning’s, turning an existing concrete site into a luscious green space for locals and visitors to enjoy.
