This is a daring proposal to complete an historic Islington square with a contemporary building.
The original Arundel Square was never completed. After three sides were finished the Victorian developer ran out of money and the North London Line was constructed in a cutting in the central gardens.
The design is a radical proposal to deck over the railway and increase the size of the gardens by fifty percent. A 6-storey building completes the square at last. The scheme, given planning consent in 2003, was originally initiated by Bill Thomas, and is now being developed by a joint venture between Modern City Living and Londonewcastle.
