Servicing Highbury
Principal Areas
Highbury Fields
Highbury Fields is the largest open space in Highbury, popular for its recreational facilities and picturesque setting. The area features a mix of Victorian and Georgian homes, many of which have been renovated to accommodate modern living while maintaining their historical character. Construction during these periods typically involved brick as a primary material, known for its durability and insulation properties.
Highbury Barn
The Highbury Barn area is historically a hub for local commerce and maintains a village-like charm. The buildings here primarily reflect Victorian architectural styles, with detailed brickwork and ornamental stonework. Many structures have been repurposed into shops and apartments, demonstrating adaptive reuse in property development, which preserves historical essence while supporting contemporary needs.
Highbury Quadrant
Highbury Quadrant showcases a blend of mid-20th century housing along with newer developments. Post-war construction here often used cost-effective materials like concrete and featured simpler, functional designs. The more recent constructions incorporate modern building techniques such as glass and steel framing, focusing on energy efficiency and sustainability.
Highbury East
Known for its residential appeal, Highbury East includes a significant number of Edwardian and late Victorian homes. These buildings often highlight the red brick construction with terraced houses common to the era, offering both aesthetic appeal and practical layouts for family living. Recent developments have leaned towards refurbishing these classics to meet modern standards, emphasising light spaces and energy efficiency.
Arsenal Stadium Area
The area surrounding the former Arsenal Stadium, now converted into a residential development known as Highbury Square, marries historical and modern architecture. The original Art Deco style of the stadium is preserved in the facade, incorporated into the new construction that uses advanced materials and techniques like curtain walling systems to create a seamless blend of old and new.
