Architect HOK has unveiled its plans for a development above the Fischer Street shaft of Crossrail in Holborn, London
The building, submitted for planning permission to Camden council today, will contain 30,000ft2 of residential space over 22 apartments.
The apartments will be a mix of one, two and three bedroom.
The scheme backs onto a eight storey grade two listed building on Southampton Row.
Anthony Leslie, head of transportation at HOK’s London office, said: “The transportation team here at HOK were involved in some of the initial design work for the Crossrail shaft and ground level structure, so were well placed when it came to designing the over-site development and understanding the constraints of the site.
“We were able to combine the expertise of our transportation and residential teams, with our long term expertise in Building Information Modelling to deliver a unique and compelling development.”
A total of 3mft2 of new space is planned above all Crossrail stations and sites in London.
