Archway Studios – a prototype built in an around a rail viaduct
Archway Studios is an odd building from multiple points of view. It's located in Southwark, London, Britain and it was congenital in and around a 19thC rail viaduct. It was a prototype projection developed past Undercurrent Architects, a sort of live-workspace. The project was completed in 2012. The site is crossed past 1 of the Vistorian viaducts found all over London. These elements divide the neighborhoods and they present various challenges for the sites.
View in gallery This project aimed at adapting these structures to new uses. The Archway Studios was an innovative approach. It occupies part of the viaduct and it was built around it. It features a vaulted workshop and an atrium with residential areas. The design is very contrasting. On one hand we have the clangorous arch and the viaduct while on the other hand we have the slender and cute spaces from the atrium. The narrow plot was very challenging. The limited access to light and the views were major reasons of concern. But the architects managed to discover solutions for all these problems.

View in gallery The exterior of this odd building features a ring of slender steel foils that form a protective acoustic crush. The daylight filters incorporated into the design bring calorie-free inside. Another major claiming was related to vibration and noise proofing. The solution was to isolate the building and to suspend information technology on a safety foundation. To make the building blend into the industrial environment, the shell was fabricated from weathered and worn materials.{plant on archdaily}.
