Placed in the new development area of London Island, close to Canary Wharf or The O2 Arena, this car park is linked to the London Film School and provides space to park for visitors, holding on its top the courts of the London Technology Institute.
The project receives a high-end treatment, equal to the tall buildings around, in colorful glazed red ceramics.
The architects at Glenn Howells in this case took advantage of the customization possibilities of the Flexbrick curtains to recreate a crossed pattern in red, in relation to the symbols of London city, thus providing the entry of natural light and natural ventilation in the proportions needed for the program. This sunscreen being fireproof, very durable, and dry installed, it also provided an economic advantage due to its fast installation, made in a couple of weeks once the substructure was placed, and avoiding the need for extra mechanical ventilation to the building, while at the same time offering a look of uniqueness and differentiation.
