ick Baker Architects have recently completed
a mixed use scheme at 86-88 Delancey Street
containing 14 flats, 5x3bed, 4x2bed and 5x1 bed
along with 500sqm of office accommodation.
The site at 86-88 Delancey Street lies immediately adjacent
to the town centre of Camden, next to the Parkway
Neighbourhood zone and within the Camden Town
Conservation Area. The properties from 84 Delancey Street
onwards are Grade II listed terraces. Significant consultation
with local residents groups and English Heritage was required
to secure planning consent.
As one of a limited number of historical crossing points over
the main London to Birmingham railway line, the site is a
‘gateway’ location between Regents Park and the vibrant core
of Camden Town.
The scheme comprises a 5 storey block facing Delancey Street
and Parkway with 2 storey maisonettes and offices creating a
rear courtyard. The urban realm to Parkway is greatly improved
as the building sets back 5m from its existing pavement edge.
