Relics of another time, these architectural remnants feel like physical connections to all the lives that passed through them, many of which have already met an end.

AQSO arquitectos’ ‘shoreditch hotel‘ is located on the iconic landmark intersection of old street and great eastern street in east london. the ancient roman street widens on the western side after crossing what is being called the silicon roundabout, the intersection of city road, and opens the doors of shoreditch at haggerston. this junction is not only significant from the morphology of the urban fabric but also for becoming a regeneration catalyst in this old industrial area influenced by the city of london that has experienced an important creative and artistic boom.
