Godfrey's?

Arkady · May 2013

The butchers' prep-house on the corner, the bit that's not being redeveloped. It services the legendary Godfrey's Butchers in Highbury. It's going to end up looking rather out of place, what with all the fancy redevelopment around it.

Mirandola · May 2013

Thanks Arkady

Kate Jones · May 2013

Its all moving along quite nicely, we're very happy with the latest CGIs. I know what you mean about Godfreys. They didn't want to develop their corner, but hopefully they will pick up some good trade once all all the area development is done. We're taking part in the Word Festival soon so will have some interesting graphics going up on the hoardings along Morris Place. Will update as soon as I know more.Great to see Park Theatre open! We're going on Saturday, can't wait ;-)

We stood on the site of our new ground floor for the first time today and it felt great! Good news recently as we have the go ahead on our Project Space which will be located on the ground floor. Plans are to hold four art exhibtions a year with talks and workshops for each show. More news soon...

Arkady · June 2013

May we have more regular photo updates Kate? It's hard to see anything past your lovely hoarding.

Artistic licence! Those pavements in the foregrounds haven't been widened much, have they?

ADGS · June 2013

Looks like all the nearby buildings are being demolished to show it off to best advantage.

Donna · June 2013

I love those widened pavements. Brilliant.

Kate Jones · June 2013

Yes the pavements and other buildings weren't really a part of the CGI team's focus for the drawings... ;-)

ADGS · June 2013

If showing the building in the environment where it will actually exist, and hopefully make sense, is not a priority, then why not just go all out and show what it would look like on Mars, with two moons hanging above in the manner of a prog rock album cover, and maybe a unicorn wandering past?

Cor! It's like it's 2008, all over again.

andy · June 2013

*applauds* well done sir!

Kate Jones · June 2013

hahahaha!! love it ;-)

Kate Jones · June 2013

@ADGS these pics aren't to show off the scheme in its context, they were for us to consider different materials, but we thought some people would like to see them

Arkady · June 2013

Ignore the pedantic sneering Kate, they are great pics. However, I do insist that you now incorporate a unicorn into the design.

ADGS · June 2013

I love it!

Arkady · August 2013

Facebook types might like these new pictures that JJ have posted. They include a great one from the fifth floor showing FP station and the City North demolition works. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.495714937176114.1073741851.183500401730904&type=3 ;

Thanks Arkady. We will be hosting public site tours soon (I hope, as long as H&S doesn't get in the way...) so you'll be able to see the view from the top floor across London - its amazing to see!

Arkady · August 2013

Ohmygadohmygadohmygad - mememememe! *ahem* Please keep me informed about your site tours. I have been known to wear a hard hat. If they could do it in the Park Theatre - which loooked like it might fall down at any time during much of the construction - then I don't see why you won't be allowed to do it.

Kate Jones · August 2013

hahaha, ok you're booked in! will confirm as soon as we get the go ahead from our construction team. the view is *amazing*

Arkady · August 2013

I promise to be good.

Mirandola · August 2013

Me too!

krappyrubsnif · August 2013

And me!

marko · August 2013

And me please!

Kate Jones · August 2013

Will let everyone know as soon as we get the tours confirmed - should be in the next few weeks, just waiting for staircases to be installed ;-)

Howdy, Stranger!
