作为新的城市设计框架的一部分伊斯灵顿的总体规划,旧磨街提供了一块主要的城市公共领域。这片风景集成原则之一的路线通过与一系列的空间链接的地方,创造一个独特的城市体验。

这个公共领域的设计方法是把它当作一个共享空间,消除了传统定义之间的行人和车辆。强烈的铸铁“圆点”模式提供了沿着街道一种新的排序装置。不同的表面处理,如碎石、木材、洞穴和砖增强空间的序列感。一排水杉标本树和雕塑街道照明创建一个戏剧性景观街道。

As part of the Urban Design Framework for the New Islington Masterplan, Old Mill Street provides a major piece of urban public realm. This piece of landscape integrates one of the principle routes through the site with a series of linked places, creating a unique urban experience.

The approach to this public realm has been to treat it as a single shared space, removing the conventional definition between pedestrians and vehicles. A strong pattern of cast iron ‘polka dots’ provides a new ordering device along the street. Different surface treatments, such as gravels, timber, setts and brick reinforce the sequence of spaces along this route. A row of Dawn Redwood specimen trees and sculptural street lighting create a dramatic, unifying spine.
