 Award RIBA London Award 2023

Set on a corner site on a mixed-use street just off the Regent’s Canal, and well within the Canal Conservation Area, this Grade II-listed former pub had a number of additions over its recent history which detracted from its primary significance. The decision by Erbar Mattes Architects to remove the insignificant existing extension elements and replace them with new accommodation gives the building a new lease of life, providing an elegant home to an art-loving family.
