Coin Street Neighbourhood Centre
The Coin Street Neighbourhood Centre completes the urban block which is made up by the Iroko Housing Co-operative also designed by the same architects Haworth Tompkins. The Centre, largely a public building houses a nursery, crèche, community cafe, training and conferences space and the client's (i.e. Coin Street Community Builders) Head Quarters. The most striking element of the building is the main street façade which was developed in collaboration with artist Antoni Malinowski. Besides the simple and innovative use of ventilation systems and sustainable materials, the project was programmatically designed to accommodate a number of different uses thus making it a much more sustainable building in the long run.
