Canary Wharf

Design/Completion 1985/1991 London. England

Olympia and York Canary Wharf Ltd 12,405.000 square feet (site area: 71 acres)

Designed to accommodate the City’s expanding financial activities, the development revitalizes a vacated Port of London sile, providing office and trading floor space, as well as public recreational and retail facilities. SOM provided development guidelines, as well as designing infrastructure elements including roads, parks, gardens, and other open spaces.

Canary Wharf consists of 26 separate building sites, the majority of which are located over the water and along the perimeter of the wharf. The proposed three landmark towers will be visible from a considerable distance. A number of mid-rise buildings are grouped around the public spaces to frame the scquence of landscaped areas. To maximize dcvelopment, the buildings were constructed over the water at points to the north and south of the wharf. As a result, the river basins no longer form a linear passage, but are a series of water courts ringed by pedestrian areas.
