Project Description
Now home to restaurants and bars, the multi-levelled barges were custom built off-site and floated down the Thames to their forever home to be transformed from bare concrete to timber and light-clad structures. Designed by renowned architects Glenn Howells Architects (GHA) and detailed with steel and glass, open-end balconies, and outward-facing benches overlooking the water, they are linked via a series of boardwalks and fitted with fixed seating areas and aquatic planting so that visitors can comfortably settle and watch the world drift by.
