Connection to Harringay Warehouse District

Inherently industrial materials used for the design draw from the tradition of the warehouse district to combine industrial architecture with everyday activities in a beautiful way. The red color, as well as a rising form of the pavilion, is a symbol of vigor and vitality that has been brought to the district by its residents.

Proposal Outline

The idea is to create a comfortable space for various events that contains both – covered area and green space. The roof serves as a sound barrier as well as a rain & sun cover and after the demolition, part of the construction can stay as a fence on the site. Existing fence will be subject to replacement by a new one that, although seamlessly blended with the building aesthetically, is a completely separate structure which will remain on the plot after the disassembly of the pavilion.
