Our design creates a robust landscape for this new residential tower, located in a prominent position marking the eastern end of South Dock on the Isle of Dogs. The concept is an exercise in simplicity drawing on the industrial heritage of its iconic dockside location. The tower is surrounded by public realm providing a new public square and opening up connections across the site. We have created private amenity space in a format similar to a traditional private London square, remote to the building. Other key elements of our design proposals include high level winter gardens, biodiversity roofscape, tree planting, seating, feature lighting and natural stone paving.
