It’s a place to aspire to, be proud of and grow. Home can be anything you want it to be, but so many people want more than just a home. They crave a community. Fish Island Village is a thriving, cultural, creative hub set in the heart of Hackney Wick and has been designed with community in mind. Offering an eclectic mix of 1, 2 & 3 bedroom modern apartments and unique workspaces, this is the ultimate place for like-minded people to collaborate and live. Located next door to all of the independent cafés, bars and warehouse pop-up galleries that Hackney Wick is famous for, this energetic new neighbourhood at Fish Island Village will be a truly inspiring place to call home. 1 OUR VISION. By Takayo Akiyama The Canal Monster www.takayon.com 2 3 A VIBRANT CANALSIDE COMMUNITY Water is the beating lifeblood of the city. And in the East End, the Thames and its man-made tributaries served as vital veins in a bygone industrial era. This network of canals was brought back to life by the 2012 Olympics and at Fish Island Village, our vision is to create a waterside community that captures the creative vibe of this bohemian borough of London, whilst being true to the spirit of Fish Island. Building on the area’s legacy, this bold vision of a village fuses traditional industrial architecture with forward-thinking design. The creation of a sustainable and supportive environment for all that live and work here is front of mind and this vision has been conceptualised in partnership with The Trampery. Fish Island Village will include contemporary apartments, a café/bar and innovative workspaces all on its doorstep. The inclusive nature, combined with the energetic atmosphere, means that this will be a place where you can be yourself and feel inspired to achieve whatever you put your mind to.
