Nicholas Hare Architects are delighted that their proposal for the “Old Street Iconic Gateway” has been selected as one of only four winners from a longlist of 39 teams.
In collaboration with Price and Myers, Hoare Lea and Fira, Old Street Park provides a flexible, green, public space for cyclists, residents, workers and visitors. The proposal is integrated with smart technology that responds to the pioneering creativity of the growing tech city, harnessing the social, environmental and economic aspirations of the area for the Old Street community.

Old Street Roundabout is changing. The existing roundabout will be removed and a two-way traffic system reintroduced, leading to the creation of a new pedestrianised public space.
In December 2017, Islington Council, together with the Mayor of London, Transport for London (TfL) and Hackney Council, issued an ‘Open Call for Design Ideas’ to create an iconic gateway at Old Street. The purpose of this open call was to seek creative and innovative design ideas from a range of disciplines and partnerships, including design, architecture, art, planning and technology in the redesign of this space.
Public exhibition at 2- 4 Old Street Yard, First Floor, Building 3, London EC1Y 8AF, 12pm – 6pm from 12 February – Friday 2 March (excluding weekends).
