MINOCO / LONDON / UK
Our intention is that the idea behind Minoco is groundbreaking, rather than any particular building. While much development along the Thames has tended to be somewhat skin deep, our plans for Minoco go much further: it’s not that a river runs through it, but a high street, and off the high street, side streets, with the occasional mews. If this sounds familiar, it’s because we’ve taken our inspiration from the way London developed historically, providing the growing population, especially families, with a rich mixture of buildings, with many different functions, but with an organic rather than a planned feel. Our ambition is that Minoco will come to be seen as a model development for future urban regeneration.
