Fish Island in AJ Specification
July 2024
Fish Island has been featured in the Doors and Windows edition of AJ Specification, published in July 2024.
Fish Island forms phase one of a mixed-use scheme combining homes, workspace and higher education learning space on the site of the former John Broadwood & Sons piano factory on Fish Island in East London.
Speaking about the specification decisions, Studio Director Craig Linnell writes that: "Fish Island has a rich heritage of industrial architecture, a mix of warehouses and factorised characterised by their logical and robust construction. More recently, many if these have been adopted by artists and adorned with graffiti... A robust and restrained material palette of brick, precast concrete sills, lintels, copings and coloured fenestration were selected in response to the character and heritage of the context."
