HILL HOUSEArchway, N19

Welcome to our first public consultation event.

As the new owners of Hill House we would like to understand what you think about the area and your ideas for its redevelopment. We have lots of ideas and will be developing these over the coming months in consultation with the local community. This first event will provide an opportunity for you to meet the Hill House team and talk with us about the local area.

We would like to find out your views on:

•Hill House / the mall, shops and open spaces•Access to Archway station / library / leisure centre•What would help Archway businesses•What is missing from other regeneration proposals

Two of the neighbouring buildings will also be undergoing change in the near future.

•Hamlyn House is being converted to a hotel•Archway Tower is being converted to residential

We are keen that our proposals take account of this changing context. Our site boundary includes much of the land amongst which these buildings sit and as such gives us the opportunity the wider regeneration of the area by re-configuring the ground floor uses and re-invigorating the public realm.

Please take a couple of minutes to go through the following boards and leave your comments and ideas.

CONTEXT AND SITE ANALYSIS02 Hamlyn House Approach & Gyratory ProposalThe planning consent for the redevelopment of neighbouring Hamlyn House to the west has been considered. It was not intended that the design would influence the solution to Archway Tower. Consideration was given to potential changes in public realm and entrances. The application had tested local wind conditions which gave a clue to problems at Archway Tower.

Gyratory Proposal

A feasibility study has been undertaken by TfL into the reconfiguration of the gyratory system around the site broadly similarly to that shown in the Archway SPD. The area to the front of the North of Archway Tower will be closed to general traffic but will provide for pedestrians, buses and cyclists. Two new pedestrian crossing points are envisaged at either end of the new bus way.

The scheme for the Archway Tower will be complementary to the emerging proposals for the gyratory in providing for another key element of local regeneration.

ARCHWAY TOWER PROPOSAL

HAMLYN HOUSE PROPOSAL

HAMLYN HOUSE EXISITING

01, Historic image of the site;Mixed Scheme proposal by Oscar Garry and Partners, Architectural Journal March 1962

HILL HOUSEArchway, N19

‘Hill House is situated in the urban context and development bounded by the Archway Gyratory in Highgate Hill, Junction Road, Vorley Road, and MacDonald Road. The full site is occupied by a number of late 1960s’ and early 1970s’ tower blocks, including Hill House, Hamlyn House, and the Archway Tower. Previous to this development (see OS images below) the early 20th century configurations survived largely intact, although some major rebuilding occurred, such as reconstruction of the underground station in 1930-32 and the rebuilding of the Central Methodist Church on the east side of Archway Road. Accessibility increased in the late 1860s and early 1870s when tolls were removed from Archway Road and the horse-drawn tramway was extended from Angel to the Archway Tavern and Finsbury Park. By this date housing development in the district was well underway, and was followed in the later years of the century by rebuilding and expansion – the two-storey Archway Tavern was rebuilt as a four-storey landmark building; the smallpox hospital was closed in 1896 and extended to house the Islington workhouse infirmary (which opened in 1900); and in 1896-1900 John Nash’s archway viaduct was replaced by the existing structure spanning Archway Road. Throughout this period, however, the centre of the block at the corner of Highgate Hill and Junction Road retained a remnant of the area’s rural past by accommodating a nursery garden.’

THANK YOU FOR COMING!

07The conversion of Hill House from offices to residential will take place under the permitted developments rights secured prior to us acquiring the site.

Currently on site we are beginning to soft strip the building and make arrangements for new residential flats in an initial conversion to provide units by July 2014.

Design development and consultation workshops will be held in parallel to inform the long term design of the whole site.

We have arrangements in place for a series of consultation workshops to show you the progress of the ideas for the facade of Hill House and the surrounding open space.

Planning applications for the redevelopment of the rest of the site including the Mall, public spaces and the re-cladding of Hill House will following this consultation process.

Your views will go on to inform our plans and there will be consultation events later in the year to see how your views and ideas have been taken on board and to provide further feedback.

We look forward to seeing and hearing from you again there.
