The Pavilion is conceived as a folded public space, a ‘vertical piazza’. Stairs, balconies and amphitheatres invite exploration; a place to gather, relax and enjoy views of the East Bank and the Olympic Park from the rooftop.

The ground and first floor of the building provide space for D&D’s Haugen café, restaurant and deli; and a new visitor centre for the Olympic Park.

The three story structure is in lightweight timber, made from cross-laminated and glued laminated timber panels and beams. Timber was the best building material, to save carbon, to save weight above the DLR tunnels, and to provide warmth and tactility to the interior. The exterior cladding reflects the timber nature of the building through parametrically designed timber fins, creating a continuous soffit that invites and guides visitors to the roof.

On the rooftop terrace native wildflower planting and nesting boxes offer essential urban infrastructure for local wildlife and connects to the wider ecological corridors through the Lea Valley.
