Higgs Young Architects obtained
a planning approval from Greenwich Council for a visitor centre and retail
pavilion for Greenwich Peninsula Regeneration Ltd. The pavilion is to be
located adjacent the O2 and North Greenwich Station in the heart of the emerging
Peninsula Central district.
The design provides a ‘street scale’ building which defines the curved Pier Walk
and the public realm. It relates to the heights of other retail buildings
surrounding Peninsula Place and hides the TfL infrastructure and the
service of Ravensbourne, completes a public space Pier Walk and Peninsula Square
and relates well to the scale of the video wall. The diminishing pattern of
glazing and increase in solid has the dual role of shop window and emphasises
the gradual curve of Pier Walk.The two storey building of
800m2 will provide for business to customer and
business to business information and marketing activity and other
commercial uses including A1/A3 and A4
retail uses and B1 offices.
