Located in a secluded oasis in a tough inner-city area (Drysdale Street, Hoxton), The Timber Yard is a mixed-use scheme of 17 commercial units, 27 live/work spaces and 12 residential units built around a courtyard. Simple, well-proportioned brick buildings on an ordered grid are enlivened with timber panels and remote-controlled sliding aluminium screens. A bold curving zinc frontage responds to the inflection of the street.
