Working with the London Pleasure Gardens team I was commissioned to construct a sculptural structure that could be used for a myriad of different uses. Set with this challenge and the abundant fact of having 5.5km of reclaimed scaffold planks and 60 old coach windscreens and windows I became incredibly excited. I began working on concepts and models which developed in a fluid fashion into a finished building which opened at the end of June.
The finished structure provided seating for 70 people viewing out across the historic docks for outdoor events whilst also providing bar and covered space for more intimate events or just somewhere for people to stop and rest.
