This project is part of the Sainsbury's supermarket Camden development and stretches along Kentish Town Road. It comprises of a four storey linear concrete frame structure, the upper two levels of which are completely clad with profiled metal. These house the workshop units, and are entered from a bespoke entrance about half way along the building. Apparently, it was the original intention of the architects to have all of the ground floor given over to small shop units. Regretably, this hasn't happened and at ground level one is presented with a view through the columns of the building into the service yard of the supermarket. Sadly, this does nothing for the streetscape.
