Retail Centre, Stratford City
Retail Centre, Stratford City
The masterplan for Stratford City sets the framework and guide-lines for the development of the city centre for this diverse mixed use development. It will be a major retail and leisure destination in east London. Located between Stratford's International and Regional stations, it will also have a direct relationship with the existing town centre and surrounding areas. This first zone comprises over 3.8 million square feet of space, with a variety of uses. We were invited to collaborate as concept architects for the design development of this fast-moving project, reviewing and advising on design strategy.
This entails working as part of a large multi-disciplinary professional team, co-ordinating design decisions and presenting the scheme to many review bodies. It is one of London's best-connected sites with an intensive transport infrastructure. The scale and complexity of the development requires a coherent architectural language, expressed in the
built forms and the range of selected materials.

Principal building groups are wrapped externally in a continuous cladding envelope, which is cut and folded to form openings for pedestrian and vehicular entrances. A different palette of materials provides internal continuity so that individual tenants' shop fitting, signage and graphics are fully integrated into the overall concept. Construction work is currently underway, and it is planned to be one of the first elements of the masterplan to be completed.
