BCO London Talk & Tour: The Design District

* SOLD OUT *
On a one-hectare riverside site adjacent to the Millennium Dome, London’s first purpose-built design district is a central feature of Knight Dragon’s masterplan for Greenwich Peninsula. Knight Dragon commissioned eight architects to independently design 16 buildings in the pedestrianised district which includes courtyards and a public square.

The project demonstrates the value of a market for less-conventional office space. A durable and purpose-built neighbourhood, the Design District supports 1800 diverse creatives, a home for startups, flexible desk space, specialist workshops and studios, as well as entire buildings that function as brand headquarters. One building hosts a rooftop basketball court, another Damian Hirst sculptures on its facade. The central food court supports cultural activities and fosters a sense of community within the development.

The Design District supports new generations of workers and new ways of working, inspired by the very fabric of its unique buildings and their inter-relationships.
