Description |
|
Arsenal's Emirates
Stadium was built on a triangular piece
of land in Islington. Two sides if
the triangle are formed by railway lines
and the base is Holloway Road. The
site covers an area of 17 acres, and the
tip of the triangle was set aside for a
mixed development which became known as
the Ashburton Triangle. This
development is predominantly residential
with, according to Robert MacAlpine the
builders, 249 flats located over 12
floors. The building encloses a
landscaped communal garden and the
majority of the apartments have a
balcony or a roof terrace.
Apparently it lays claim to being the
largest zinc clad building in
Europe. The building is also home
to the Arsenal Museum and it has space
for retail and restaurants.
