Newham
£10m to £49.99M
New Build, Brownfield site
The Flyover is supported on a myriad of tall concrete columns forming a magnificent cathedral-like space with an articulated soffit of profiled beams. The scheme is inserted between these structures and reveals one of London’s unseen spaces to its users and the public. It will comprise approx. 8,000m2 light industrial floor space arranged as small workshops with ancillary spaces for a café, exhibitions, open workshops, and shared working areas, arranged over two storeys. The common spaces are located near the main entrance off Crystal Gardens and distributed along the length of the scheme to encourage an internal community ‘under the road’ with semi public access for events. Everything is accessed from an internal circulation gallery that occupies one file of the structure, running the full 240m length of the Flyunder from the public entrance beside the bridge underpass from Crystal Gardens. Tower structures rise above the road level at regular intervals within the slots between the main road and the rising slip roads, marking the scheme’s presence externally. These internally illuminated towers also hold signage and servicing runs, acting as beacons along the circulation route and when travelling at road and DLR level.
