YORK WAY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
LONDON BOROUGH OF ISLINGTON
The design for the park and new building is in proximity to Kings Cross
Central. The new residential developments within the area and Regent's
Canal, informed the design and Islington Council’s policies in relation
to the proposed scheme.
The tender design proposal for the park embraced a new organic and
fluvial theme, with landscaped mounds and curving planting beds
enhancing overall biodiversity. Allotment areas were proposed in
hexagonal forms to mimic the efficient use of space in honeycombs. The
natural play area used sculpted landforms, natural stone boulders with
exciting activity trails to encourage 'all inclusive' creative play
where possible.
