The existing travelers which already exist need to be relocated to the other side of a trianglular peninsular to make way from some Crossrail infrastructure.
Initially commissioned directly by Crossrail and now through the lead multi disciplinary consultancy Jacobs, we have developed the redesign of the entire site to accommodate more travellers pitches than were there before whilst allowing the infrastructure to be built.
With close involvement from the local authority (Tower Hamlets), the travellers themselves, local residents and other stakeholders the site has been completely redesigned around the external and internal road network. Careful consideration has also been put to acoustic issues with attenuation being designed in to offset the noise generated by the surrounding infrastructure.
The site itself and the individual pitches have been carefully crafted to be as sustainable as possible. All individual chalets are generated by their own solar stored energy, each has a green sedum roof, the external ground is formed by SUDS drainage and all water is recycled. We have secured planning consent for the site and are just beginning detailed design phases.
The design of the site is being used by Tower hamlets as their benchmark for good design.

We developed a scheme that had a huge space saving over the existing layout by a clever arrangement of stairs and escalators.
The whole was finished off by a super lightweight elegant canopy, leaving the station light and airy with the adjacent Excel Centre in close view.

This is a great opportunity not only to be involved in one of the most important tunneling projects in London, but environmentally is hugely important to the Thames and architecturally is a fantastic project to contribute to.
Along with the Lee Tunnel the Thames Tunnel is needed to reduce the volume of untreated sewage overflowing from London's Victorian sewers into the River Thames. They will ensure the UK complies with Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive and will make the River Thames and its tributary the River Lee cleaner and healthier for wildlife and for people.
We'll keep you posted as the project develops!
