Asked whether this was sufficient to honour the prison\u2019s legacy, architect Sarah Akigbogun replied, \u201cAbsolutely not.\u201d Vice-chair of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wia-uk.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Women in Architecture UK<\/a> and the founding director at Studio Aki, she called it \u201canother example of the marginalisation of women&#8217;s needs but also of women in the construction and the procurement processes.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>\u2018Not only a great place to live but an exceptional place to be\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Dick Mortimer, Peabody\u2019s executive development director, said: \u201cWe\u2019re excited to be able to present these new proposals to the local community, opening up the space to the public for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the last couple of years, we\u2019ve discussed various options for the site, and have listened to the priorities of local people, the GLA and Islington Council.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are grateful for all the input we have received so far and believe these proposals create the right balance for the project moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mortimer added: \u201cWe want to provide lots of much needed family sized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/fabric-first-social-homes\/90417\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">social homes<\/a>, but also put dedicated affordable homes for older people in the heart of the community next to the park.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Women\u2019s Building will also be a vital part of the neighbourhood and we\u2019re looking forward to more discussions around how we can recognise the legacy of the place throughout the design of the wider scheme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur hope for Holloway is to create not only a great place to live but an exceptional place to be, with beautiful buildings, gardens and public spaces in the centre of the borough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Masterplanning team is led by architects <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ahmm.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Allford Hall Monaghan Morris<\/a>.
