Ivy Hall
Islington, London

Ivy Hall is a £6 million redevelopment that replaces a former single-storey community building and adjacent car park with a new purpose-built community centre and 23 social housing units.
Located at the junction of Crouch Hill and Holly Park in Islington, the scheme has created a welcoming and sustainable community resource for local residents.
The site was previously underused and outdated, with the existing community centre and parking space no longer fit for purpose. The new development had to respond to the housing demand while maintaining a strong community focus.
Working closely with the London Borough of Islington from concept stage, we delivered a three-storey community centre and a four-storey residential block. The homes include 23 affordable units, a mix of 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom apartments, including wheelchair accessible dwellings.
The centre includes a double-height multipurpose hall, children’s play areas, office and meeting spaces, and a rooftop garden—designed to be flexible, light-filled and easy to manage. Our M&E design ensures compatibility with the district heating mains supplied by the Bun Hill Energy Centre, integrating gas-fired plant, radiant heating panels, natural ventilation louvre heater batteries, and underfloor heating in key areas.
A vibrant, energy-efficient building that promotes social cohesion, supports community activities, and provides high-quality affordable housing. Ivy Hall now serves as a vital local hub and a long-term asset to the borough.
