ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
Wood Wharf is the newest neighbourhood in Canary Wharf, and once complete, will provide up to 3,600 new homes, 2 million sq ft of office space, 350,000 sq ft retail space, and more than 9 acres of public spaces, squares, and parks, along with a GP surgery and school.
Colin Ainger, Partner at HTA Design, said:“ Canary Wharf is undergoing a major transformation and 3 & 15 West Lane – the latest development in HTA’ s ongoing collaboration with CWG – delivers two new residential buildings that contribute to the growing buzz and evolving character of the Wood Wharf neighbourhood. In the style of the estate’ s historic warehouse architecture these buildings act as a fitting focal point for the newly landscaped Union Square while contributing an exciting new living offer to the Wharf’ s growing community.”
The delivery of 3 & 15 West Lane build on HTA Design’ s ongoing collaborations with the CWG. These two new residential buildings are situated near Eden Dock – a first-of-its-kind urban oasis in the heart of the neighbourhood, unveiled last October by HTA Design, Howells, and CWG in partnership with world-leading charity the Eden Project. As part of the broader transformation of Canary Wharf into a premier destination to live, play, and work, both projects contribute a biodiverse and people-centred approach to the neighbourhood’ s evolving public realm.
