Poplar Money Line

The project deals with an economical and social betterment of a deprived area in East London's area of Tower Hamlets. It is done by providing access to financial services, which a great deal of the population of the area still can not access. With a critique on the existing banking system the project offers a new model - Community Banking Partnership. It involves participation of different bodies (Government, Credit Union, Community Development Finance Institution, Money Advice Agency and Registered social landlord) which all together can provide financial services in a more accessible way. This model is also reflected in the design of the building. In contrary to monolith representational spaces that banks offer, the main emphasis is put on the interior. It is created as an extension of a street surrounded by fragmented interior units according to the programmatic requirements.
