Mixed-use five-storey development on Finchley Road gets green light

Boutique architecture practice, Wolff Architects, has obtained planning approval for a new 35,000 sq ft mixed use development in Camden.

The Notting Hill-based architects have been given the green light to build the Four 5 Two development on the site of a former public house which is due to be completed before the end of 2017.

Consisting of 570 sq ft of office space, 1,000 sq ft of retail space and 19,000 sq ft of residential space across 13 units, the mixed-use development will also boast a top-floor balcony offering 270 degree views of the area.

Wolff has said that, while the building has been designed to stand out from other buildings in the area, a number of features have been added to complement the existing built environment, including a brick-framed exterior supported by metal infill panels.

The property will also include a ‘bespoke arrangement of windows’ which offer a more modern take on the area’s more traditional properties.

Shaun Bangard, Senior Associate at the architects, commented: “We are extremely excited to be embarking on this project which beautifully combines residential and commercial space. The building will stand-out as a bright and modern development which we hope will serve a number functions.

“Given the scale of the project, obtaining planning permission required that we meet a number of rigorous environmental and social standards.

“Fortunately, our extensive experience in delivering projects in London meant we cleared those hurdles with ease and we are now focused on the construction of this excellent development.”
