Workplace Without Boundaries Pavilion
Competition-winning design for mobile-working structures at International Quarter London in Stratford. A successful collaboration with YOU&ME, this is the first structure to be built of a family of proposed house-profile elements which are variously grouped, rotated, and scaled up.
Context
We won the open-call by Lendlease to design public realm structures that support mobile-working and promote collaboration. In an environment of large commercial buildings, the colour and life of the landscaped spaces are key, and these structures provide inviting human-scale spaces amongst the planting.

Work from anywhere
The structures respond to the change in contemporary work practices by embracing mobile technology and the new work-from-anywhere reality.
In the case of this "amphitheatre", the house profile is turned onto its side and stretched to form an 11m long shelter, located to face events and screenings in the British Council offices.

Material choices
Externally, brightly coloured aluminium shingles refer to the tones of the plants and flowers, and relate to the coming other structures. Internally, paired glulam beams bring warmth, and tables and built-in chairs with armrests provide space to meet, work and take calls.

Process
Delivered in a busy environment of large commercial buildings and ongoing construction sites, the pavilion was built with offsite prefabrication followed by a concentrated build phase on site.
Completed in 2020, the project provided much-needed, sheltered, outdoor meeting spaces during COVID restrictions.
