DESIGN DISTRICT

The developers of Design District have released new visuals of the future creative hub at the heart of Greenwich Peninsula. 

The eight offices involved in this project are 6a Architects, Mole Architects, Architecture 00, Barrozi Veiga, Selgas Cano, Assemblage, Adam Khan Architects and David Kohn Architects. Each practice independently designed two buildings, both an expression of the studio’s philosophy and aesthetic, creating a highly diverse assemblage of spaces and architectures attuned to London’s dynamism.

The challenge was recreating the vibrancy of an organically developed neighbourhood. The proposals were held to a strict budget and a partnership with the Mayor of London was established, to keep rents low in perpetuity, says Matt Dearlove, head of design at Design District.

Set to open near the end of 2020, the project will comprise of 16 new buildings housing affordable workspaces, studios and workshops for London’s creative landscape. In addition, the development will provide sports facilities, spaces for leisure and cultural activities, as well as a food market.
