Sustainability
HARVEST CANOPY
In response to the deprived
residence of Westbourne Green,
and the physical isolation of all
three community residences due
to canal acting as a barrier, this
project counters the deprivation
of these communities. The
architecture could create a social
sustainable environment, effective
but fun, encouraging neighbours
to work together as a community
and make it a unique asset of
Maida Vale.
A community centre and an
integrated 146 metre canopy
footbridge as part of the new fresh
produce market space that lies
across the canal. As the Harvest
area matures and grows across the
canopy, the building will gradually
merge with its community park
at Westbourne Green, becoming
an abstract and sculptural green
land-form that punctuates the park
boundary and visually merges with
the adjacent angle canopy structure.
