Pilbrow & Partners were appointed to design the masterplan and development proposals for Peninsula Quays, adjacent the Dome and overlooking Canary Wharf.
The proposals have been developed to meet Knight Dragon’s Net Zero Carbon objectives and deliver 5,830 homes, a new two form entry primary school, retail, offices, community facilities, and a new cultural centre.
The masterplan establishes a generous new public park extending along the water’s edge to a sparkling network of well-lit streets and squares. Streets and squares are simply and elegantly linked to principal transportation routes from the east and newly planned river transport links to the west as well as around complex infrastructural constraints. Constructional efficiency, through considered urban and architectural form, the adoption of DFMA and an early assessment of the optimised energy requirements required by the proposal, underpin integrated strategies for the delivery of long-term social, economic and environmental value.
