Canada Water Plot A1

A carefully crafted composition of elements responding to both its immediate and metropolitan context, this hybrid building at Plot A1 occupies a prominent position at the western side of our masterplan, adjacent to Canada Water underground station. A low-rise podium of warehouse-like flexible workspace and shops at street level appear as three distinct complementary buildings. Above this, three volumes rise up to 35-storeys of housing, employing a varied palette of colour and materials to suggest a tripartite tower. The different uses expressed as individual volumes; a family of buildings grouped together. Currently onsite, Plot A1 is due to complete in 2024.
