NEW Competition Deadline
Project Overview
Tottenham Pavilion is a project born from the Harringay Warehouse District; a former industrial site that has, over the past 20 years, been converted into live and work spaces by artists, makers, musicians and entrepreneurs.
The community has a unique power dynamic - it's not simply grass root, nor bottom up, that’s far too linear - it has a power source that comes from the clash of differences. This commission is about preserving the essence of the area and its resistance to further "gentrification". The winning concept will learn lessons from a very unique corner of London and reinterpret them for a wider audience.
Part of the London Festival of Architecture 2020Â programme, both the winning and shortlisted designs will be featured in the festival.

Registration Re-Opened
Following calls from potential applicants to have a chance to take part now that circumstances have changed & the deadline extended, we have re-opened registration until 1st April - it only gives applicants 12 x days to enter, so its their choice.
Please note, the competition is being run independent of London Festival of Architecture and is not endorsed by the festival.
Construction
Subject to fundraising, if the winning design is built it will maintain the essence of the Harringay Warehouse District, and be entirely self-built by a team of local volunteers.
London Festival of Architecture
The self-build phase and a launch event will be listed as an event in the London Festival of Architecture. This gives the project both a hyper local relevance and an international audience.
Content
Subject to fundraising, the Tottenham Pavilion will be open to the public in 2021. We are in discussions about housing in permanently in the borough.
Programme of Activity
The team are actively speaking to warehouse tenants, local residents and nearby organisation to create a summer long programme of activity. Get in touch if you have an idea.
